It's the amp. I have a '52 Deluxe (5C3) and I can get Angus Young or Neil Young Rust Never Sleeps tones using no pedals and a Tele. |

Hmmm. My tele has active Greg Koch Gristle Tone Fluence pickups by Fishman. I’ll have to hit the clean boost and see what happens. My Strats all have passive vintage pickups. They are glassy and clean.

The dove joints in the originals cab (1969) were loose so I parked it. Bought a 4x10 cab with wheels, used that cab and the head. |

I often wonder if I let a valuable Strat get away from me. I had one for sale here in SLC, a 2008 in honey pine made in America. It was on Craigslist for a few days when it was sold to a guy in NY who wired me the money and had an associate pick it up and ship it to him. Here's the exchange from our email:
I've been speaking with a Patrick, is he the person picking it up or is it some one else?

Dennis will probably tell you a little about my career, but I can tell you that your guitar will be given a loving home and career... if all goes well it'll be broken in on the new single for a famous artist in May (sorry, can't tell you who it is yet). If you look up Brett Nemeroff he is a NY music producer as well as doing TV production work. Never got a straight answer as to why my old Strat was so important to him or who used it. |

When I was young, I wasted too much money on nice guitars that my skills didn't really justify. After awhile I settled on some affordable guitars and have never felt I needed more. Actually the guitar I leave out to muck about on is a crate strat copy that I bought for $5 from some people on Craigslist who I'm sure were crackheads

I could see not messing with it if it belonged to someone famous showing the wear and all but if you were the original owner? So what?
What's the harm in a "restore" not rebuild? |

Pete,
I have an Epi version of your Blue LP, put some Duncans in it and it's a player, nowhere near what you have but I love it. |

In fact, on Gibsons, trapezoid fret marker inlays mean rosewood. Ebony gets rectangles. Mine has traps plus ebony. Apparently ebony is now illegal to import. I have had it re-fretted and one pickup needed repair. It also has new pots and switch which doesn’t harm the value. For some collectors, the wear would be a detriment. For others (usually pro players) the wear is a plus. The wear doesn’t impact playability now that the frets are new. It was unplayable before the refret because I wore them down so far. It’s mostly paint worn off. The biggest factor with re-fretting these is damaging the binding. (A plastic strip around the edges that finishes it off). When it gets old it gets brittle so it takes a lot of skill to do it right. If you Jack it up, you can put in new bindings but it’s super expensive and decimates the value. I got really lucky that I found a very good luthier to do the work. At first, she wouldn’t touch it due to fear of messing it up which I thought was odd. She knew it was rare before I did. |

I certainly am not in your league but when I play these days I use this. It's a fairly new Epi pro top with splitters. Very forgiving and easy to play but does not have the tone of a Gibson.
