it's funny too... my 'standard strat test' is 'lenny' then 'little wing'. the truly great strats seem to know those songs were created for them. a little hippy zen, i know.

I toured the Fender factory in 1991. Pretty cool.
And yes, the 70s Strats sucked ass. That fucking 3-bolt-neck design was great for moving the neck around while you were onstage. Micro-tilt? More like "Micro-out-of-tune".
I held off on buying a Fender until they came out with the Lead I in 1980. I bought it instead of a Strat because it was the first 4-bolt-neck Fender they had produced in over a decade.
That one was black, but the paint began to change color after a couple of years, had some milky blotches on it. Ended up losing it to the pawnshop eventually. *sigh*.
But then got the one I have now in the late 90s, and it had been my best friend's in the early 80s, so I am cool with it.
Glad Fender went back to 4-bolt necks.Comment
