Happy New Year!
Here is a nice 2022 guitar thread.... in the chit chat section. I have owned this guy for 27 years now. Not a common guitar, but it plays so good. Resonates much more than normal. The neck is perfect. This is a 1983 strat. Originally came with only one tone knob and the input jack was where the bottom knob is.... in the pick guard. I had it professionally moved and a second tone knob installed. Top loader tremolo is not my favorite. (Pretty stiff). I am very good with a tremolo so I’m a little restricted with this guy, but the resonance, weight, and playable neck still make it a good time. I gigged with this for several years and would never part with it.......
I picked it up at a place in downtown OKC called “Horn Trader”. I traded a Gibson Sonix and $75 for it, and never looked back.
I believe Fender made these for two and a half years.
Happy New Year all!
Very nice!
I just sold my original ‘54 Les Paul. One more vintage piece to go!
Yeowza ! Thanks for sharing - nice way to start my day .. . I own 3 stratocasters, my favorite being a 2004 American standard strat I had personally signed by Joe Satriani .. . This whole situation of being locked up at home due to the chicom virus has been very instrumental in providing me with the time to rock out with my two drum sets, 2 basses and 5 guitars !!! America has better prepared musicians because of this tragedy .. . remember .. . when one door closes, look for another way out .. .HAPPY NEW YEAR and may God bless .. .
Thanks!
How much did you get for the Les Paul?
Thanks......
I’m enjoying my first morning of 2022 playing my ‘55 ES 125 through a bassman 50 amp.
Don’t know how to post a photo. I am a Luddite.
Nice rig!
I bet he got a lot....
Yep!
I can’t part with my guitars.... I was going to sell a 92 Les Paul and buy a new one a couple of years back. I was in such distress wife finally said “OKAY enough already! Just go buy the new one!” Guitars are like your kids. Some are better than others.... but you can’t get rid of them.
I have written into our trust who gets each guitar. Not family. Friends I have played with along the way. None of them know....
Sweet vanilla finish, beautiful axe. Thanks for the new thread!

Tame way, unique up on it!
Interesting. While I have some guitars that have bidirectional audio and data connections, not one has an input jack! 😉
Nice-lookin’ axe, though…

I managed to sell off thirteen of them over the past few years - and only miss two. :)
Lol.... good point. You input the cable in the output jack. :). Ha ha. Happy New Year!
