ahh i know this site. they used to have 62 and 57 thin skins but it was like 2 years ago. too bad no one left.

i like wildwoodguitars becouse you can check how each guitar is painted

[fenderfunk14]

THE 57 RI JUST GOT A PRICE DROP!!!!!

Now I'm Considering The 57 Reissue

[fenderfunk14]

how much is it now? where are you ordering from? you'll prob like that maple neck better than the 62 rosewood

I Usually Get My Stuff from Guitar Center

The price on the 57 was Around 2,000

Now It's Cheaper than The 62 and the Hotrod!

It's Set at 1,400


Also I got a chance to play a Vintage '57 Strat And I really Loved it , I Felt comfortable with the neck

Thanks For your help/advice guys

BTW! FF The '57 Neck is a 7.25 right?

[fenderfunk14]

[Skitzo]

FML My amp decides to fuck up , in a week I woulda bought the '57 , now I need a amp , so I got $1,200 ish , what amp should I look into? I decided to get a amp instead how am I gonna play the '57 when my sound is bein sucked and heavily staticed up :/

[fenderfunk14]

wow thats bad news bears.

what kind of sound do you play with primarily? clean or dirty? lots of distortion or a little?

i usually recommend fender amps, but some people think they're too bright and dont distort well. but if you really want fender tone, you cant go wrong with a fender amp.

I Really Like Amps With Great Clean Tone , But As Soon as I hit the Ds-1 They Scream and Howel


I turned my amp on today and it worked great -.- This thing is more Inconsistent than Lamar Odom
