For whatever reason the volume pot in one of my Strats started to howl and moan.

New pot.

All better.

It's strictly rhythm, you don't want to make it cry or sing.

I gotta be in the mood for them and after a few songs, I'm a little burned out.

Absolutely incredible musicianship like your other favorite; Rush

I'd have to solder it back in and the replacement was under $10.00.

‘Olympic White’ it’s called. There is also a ‘Vintage White’ which is what I’d consider yellow. Not to be confused with ‘Polar White’ which is actually, you know, white. All Fender colors.

Don’t get me started on the reds.

Olympic white = vanilla custard

Very 60's. Reminds me of the Wimbledon White on my TBird- a very popular color for several model years back in the day.

Most of the Fender colors were DuPont automobile colors. “Fiesta Red” was wildly popular. Matter of fact I’m fairly certain it was Fender’s first custom color. Not to be confused with “Torino Red” (I have Torino Red ) or “Dakota Red”
