You know, in looking at these pics, I'm always drawn to the Blue Strats. I'm always so amazed at how good Fender is with their blue colors. They just always seem to nail a deep rich blue color perfectly. The one I own is actually a blue burst paint job. I think at the time it was called "frosted", and it's just done so perfectly. It's a subtle fine metallic blending. Gotta love the Fender finish department. They're highly skilled, that's for sure.

Heres mine

I also have a couple Acoustic guitars but no pictures of them.

Also here is My dads Nashville that I put a custom pick guard on for him.

i like that relic you did, what did you use to get the paint off, thinner or sander?

I had started wearin the paint down right above the pickguard so from there I started chipping away at the paint with a knife. It was a thick hard coat and it came off fairly easy. Im pretty sure its because its the Polly finnish. Fun project.

steve, that sounds cool, im asking becasue i have a squire body that im going to either sand or nick etc.. put more paint on it and layer it up and peel it off

Thanks, I'll keep an eye on that one!

The last one I found, one of the white ones, went for a lot more than I payed for the guitar! I may have to try make one, if i can't find a reasonably priced one.

Wow nice Alain, love the Performers in the one album, especially the green one. Don't see those around very often. The one (red one,) had seen in real life was beat to hell and back(a shame.)

You have a very nice collection. Do you have a favorite player? I imagine with that many, they can't all get much play.

r u selling any and how did you get them, i have been looking everywhere for one lol.

My daily favourite is the CS'56 Fiesta Red Relic Strat; not the most expensive,by far (but Stil..)but the one which is the most suitable for the kind of music I play on a daily basis-The Shadows instrumentals-.Fitted with 12-52 strings...

Otherwise I have an Excel sheet to know when to change the strings and when I have played them.; So 3 per week are out of their case for"maintenance" as a guitar NEEDS to be played regularly
