Mike McCready Signature

So extremely stoked on this guitar. I’m the exception from what I’ve seen, I loved heavily relic’d strats. Been wanting one for a long time, but couldn’t bring myself to buy one for $2k. Found one on market place for almost HALF the new price tag and this guitar is AMAZING. Love it so much. Never thought I’d enjoy a MIM this much.

Happy Straturday!

This week I'm featuring another Guitar of the Past. 2001 Am Std Hardtail in Chrome Red. Bought in December of 2019, sold it off a year or so later with a few others when I was in a sell-off mood. I really wish I'd kept this one, that color is awesome!

Is this a genuine strat and should I buy?

Found this strat on Facebook marketplace. Can't find the serial number on the website but the guitar looks sick. Is it genuine and is it worth considering to buy?

Made in Japan Stratocaster

We got this guitar as inheritance when my fiances grandfather passed away. We are going to keep it incase one of our kids learns how to play guitar one day. This could be a nice gift once they are older. I play some guitar myself, mainly rock/metal and I have an Ibanez rga for that.

So on to the questions what is the value for these Japanese strats. And this is a legit one? At least it should be knowing her grandfather. And how do you think the value of Fender guitars will evolve, will their current lawsuits impact value of these older Fenders?

Finally got a strat. MIM

I traded my silvertone for this MIM strat. I think it's a two tone burst. 50s vibe? Came with the orgininal case too.

Neck Pickups

I have a Squier Strat classic vibe series. I’m planning to upgrade my pickups. SSL-5 in bridge, SSl-1 in middle, and am caught between whether to get the Seymour Duncan Psychedelic Parchment in neck or the surfer antiquity 2 in neck?

Any thoughts? Suggestions?

Pickguard help

Are there any good quality and decently priced pickguards in Tortoise shell color that would fit my vintera ii? It needs to be 8 holes and line up with a 50s style MIM Strat. A backplate in this color would be great as well. The first photo is of my guitar, the second is what I want it to look like. Mind the Rosewood and the bridge pickup. Any help is appreciated.

1996 vs 2026 MIM

First guitar was a 1996 MIM Black with rosewood fretboard. I no longer have that guitar but to me, theres no way it was a $600+ guitar like they cost new these days

Are the 2026 MIM guitars built better than those in the mid 90s?
