Back in the day I used to buy "Metro Gum" (chewing gum) for 2 cents a piece from the lolly shop. Wonder if it's still open?]]> Opinions and Polls jwishart77 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/fender-strat-another-dreaded-buying-question/#post-199938 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/fender-strat-another-dreaded-buying-question/#post-199827 Thu, 21 Sep 2006 15:11:01 +0000

So here is a little update. I have been playing them and playing them and I have narrowed it down to the eric johnson strat and the custom shop 57 reissue. I really LOVE both of them. I am leaning toward the EJ strat because it's more in my price range. The sales person said that the EJ strat will feel just as good to me as the custom shop strat once I break it in and that custom shop strats feel so good out the box cuz they are broken in a bit already. IS this true? Also, I read the comments that CFB posted for the EJ strat and I totally agree with the one guy that said the neck had a thick "gym floor" like finish. Someone posted that this goes away after lots of useage. Will it? It really is on thick. Thanks so much for all your help hopefully this thread will help someone else. These strats are nice as hell! :)]]> Opinions and Polls astonefox https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/fender-strat-another-dreaded-buying-question/#post-199568 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/fender-strat-another-dreaded-buying-question/#post-197253 Tue, 05 Sep 2006 05:05:08 +0000 Opinions and Polls astonefox https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/fender-strat-another-dreaded-buying-question/#post-197253 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/fender-strat-another-dreaded-buying-question/#post-196901 Sun, 03 Sep 2006 03:38:21 +0000 http://www.fareastguitars.comI beieve this is the correct link: http://www.fareastguitars.co.uk/]]> Opinions and Polls teegee420 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/fender-strat-another-dreaded-buying-question/#post-196901 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/fender-strat-another-dreaded-buying-question/#post-196887 Sun, 03 Sep 2006 02:21:05 +0000 http://www.fareastguitars.com]]> Opinions and Polls MimiFox https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/fender-strat-another-dreaded-buying-question/#post-196887
