Excellent guitars those. Not a bad price at all.

Could be interesting, not too sure the make?

hhhhmmm, If it's Japanese then maybe?
Personally I normally stop looking at LP types when I see a bolt on neck.
I'm not sure why, or if it's accurate at all, but I find I have no interest in a big, heavy single cutaway guitar, that features a bolt on neck...not for me.

This Strat has been on Gumtree for a while now and to my eyes it looks like a damn good deal, considering all the mods/upgrades on it. What thinks you people? Am I missing something?

That is a good deal. The only things that might put some buyers off is the combination of pretty hot Strat pickups and a vintage radius fretboard - vintage Strat fans generally prefer lower powered pups and hot Strat fans usually like flatter fingerboards).

You know, I was just about to ask for a more elaborate answer when I googled it and found this article of yours ? Very informative, thanks!

But try it out you might be a 7.25" radius fan. All the early rockers are! Recently started learning on a vintage radius myself. I just find that Japaneses necks fit my hand like a glove. One of the most important reasons I go for them.

Damned good looking guitar, that. Alas, I can barely justify the gear I have at the moment, what with my terrible playing. A man can dream, though, and maybe if I finally reach a point where I can do this kind of instrument justice I'll make another financially irresponsible foray against Gumtree and it's ilk ?

Nothing like try before you buy to spur on that passion, and passion is 95% the rest is natural talent.

That's the problem with Shure mics nowadays...so many fakes around. Best is to go and check it out. There are several youtube and other sites on how to spot fake Shure mics.

Very nice guitar and price. You won't get it any cheaper imho.

Last I looked Guitartone still had a White Falcon TV, they were selling for R30-something K. They are the Rolls Royces of the Gretsch line.

If I were getting a japanese Gretsch it'd be a white falcon for sure ?

I forgot about that one.

Gosh! I could only dream of these types of guitars, along with the PRS Hollowbodies! Way out of my league, but it doesn't stop the GAS... Just means I can never indulge my GAS attack!

And Alan, thats interesting about the White Falcon... Have to say that its probably my favourite, but you know me being a sucker for a nice bit of wood grain, so thats why this other Gretsch stands out! Its a stunner!

However, this would be more within my reach....

Not going to be buying it, unless something drastic happens, but its of interest since I first learnt how to play on my dads old Hofner senator! May be of interest to someone else here too? What would you guys say it was worth for this?
