Hi Ola. I turned 40 in January 2019. I saved 5 years for my dream guitar, even though I was just a home player .. Buy the guitar that makes you feel good, even if it pays. your quality of life improved significantly, although the guitar with your purchase, there was no sense..i am so glad to take a riff on my guitar witch is rare and expensive, only a couple relationship has suffered from my love of my guitar, but I have found a solution to my new energy.

[@bandshooting]

❤️ Happy Birthday, Ola. I still buying remember my first Fender CS. At the store they took my a lot of money, BUT they took also my mind🤣 so i was so confused to pay for it... My second SC - 64' heavy relic - was a hard process....Should i spent again so much money...🤔 it was a hard time and took at least TWO years to pick it from the shop - it was way more expensive and i had not the money at that time for guitars....but it hurts, when you feel tis IS the right one. i wrote down the serial number and prayed to god, that no one will pick "my beauty" in the following month. Exact 1/2 year before my 40th birthday i went to the git-shop again. Pockets full of money a a big hope in my heart that she is still there. GuitarGod had a fantastic day and all my dreams come true. She was still there, it got it and still in love with it even 5 years later and every time i pick her up, I fell the same luck and inner feelings as the day I can get her. What a deep inner friendship. No one else gets "it" but you do. Wish you all the best to get "her", Harry👋🏻

Bro, I watch your stuff all the time and but have never seen where you actually bought your Strat. The alternative ending made my day. Well done and right on for us September birthday's.

[@kongandbasses8732]

It feels like roasted maple is actually another way to cheap out guitar production. It is more work and is more money involved to store wood until it is dry than cooking fresh maple wood in an autoclave. I actually know some guitars with roasted necks that have problems with stability. The truss rod has to get adjusted a lot (and I mean a lot), they shrink in dry enviroment, causing frett sprout. This goes up to high priced MusicMan guitars and basses, especially the early production run of instruments when roasted maple necks got into series production.

[@MiikeyLawless]

Yeah seems like another gimmick.

[@MICKEYISLOWD]

These days I usually try out 100s of guitars before I get that incredible guitar. My last incredible buy was my 93 Gibson M-III ebony. Lots of flaws that needed a tech to put right but now she is stunning and sounds amazing. I also bought a case queen '90 floral Jem. You can see the cloth weave in the material and contrary to what most people think, ALL the original Florals have the cloth material fabric and none were painted. They stopped production when they no longer could buy the material. If I was looking to buy a strat the Sambora is the strat for me. Loved the flat radius and neck profile. They are really hard to find though!

Strat/telecaster/P90 LP-SG etc...single coils can sound very heavy for many styles of hard/metal/thrash/down tuning... Just need a good amp , an overdrive -boost .

Aw! I remember when I was married I fell in love with the Ibanez Jem 77P and my wife was all "buy it buy it"... but it was £1200 and that's a lot to spend on myself. Anyway, sadly 6 months or so later we broke up and as a treat to myself I went online and bought the guitar. I then swapped out the pick ups to blue Evo's and sanded the neck down. Years later I still have it and it's currently with a luther to have the neck sanded into a C shape like my RG and change the volume pots to low friction ones and when it's back, it should be a beaut.
