I think I got one of the good ones.

[Phil M]

This Oxblood Les Paul, though a R7 goldtop has been nudging it lately and is getting the call for my band's first gig this weekend.

[dinobyte]

Well, I guess, this one...

[Cogs]

Oh yeah, go ahead & rub it in

[NeoFauve]

Oh yeah, go ahead & rub it in

Heh...
That's what I was thinking when I saw your 336.

Holy moley!

[Tele00]

Well, I guess, this one...

I'm not impressed easily...........I'm impressed

Sorry pc!

Can imagine how that would be a hard decision. Nice trio.

[Phil M]

Gorgeous, Wilko. What year is that?

[Wilko]

Thanks,

[Tonedrip]

1966 ..... my #1 always ...funny, my favorite year of music as well (Revolver)

[yz25098uk]

my one and only ever strat.
1973, all original apart from a 5 way added late 70's i think.
ive had it for over 20 years, and its nearly at re fret city now..
finger board has some wear dips in it, but i dont want to get it refretted etc as it wont be original anymore...
serioiusly considering getting a 3 way fitted, as i know where i can get an early 70's one from.
photographed in 'blurrovision'

[seagate]

Nice...

I don't a think a refret is going to hurt the value at all.
Frets and Nuts are exempt as far as I know.

[yz25098uk]

seagate,
i suppose i should get it done, i dont think ill ever sell it, as its the guitar i really learned to play on, and i love how it feels, compared to the les paul.
i should get my tech (DR robert) to give me a price on the refret and finger board 'levelling' job..
the vol knob and tone knobs also make a 'dirty contact' noise through the amp as well.
just 33years worth of wear i think, lol

If you're not planning on selling her I'd go ahead and fix whatever needs fixing/replacing. Keep the old parts just in case.

my #1 SC


My #1 HB

[56Strat]

This is my number 1, still the best sounding Stratocaster I've played so far. It's an all original early 1956, ash body and weighs 6.8lbs. I think the necks on these late '55s and early '56s are the best feeling necks Fender ever made.

[axecollector]

This has been my numero uno for almost 20 years. Currently being returned to its original Olympic White finish after going thru a half-dozen color changes over the years...

Yo Alanfc, you need to learn to crop a picture bro. My eyes are lead to the right, and exit the frame without finding what I was looking for. Please repost the pic with more to the right exposed - honestly, I just want to see all of the headstock, yeah that's it.

and here's what it looked like the day I bought it
I can easily revert back to this since my black paint job is temporary (I'm testing colors)

[bzimm]

Much better! I thought the black was an unusual color for that model. I dig it, but I like the shoreline also.

BTW, it wouldn't hurt my feelings if you cropped out the shirtless MM bass player
