Several thoughts here:
-he passes the newbie Fender gear acquisitions test with flying colors..
-hits the mark with his comment about Fender's use of serial numbers. [Maybe I should do the same with my '89' Pewter. I have had the neck off the guitar and it reads April 1990. The body date is indistinct.]
-he's frequented one of my favorite guitar shop haunts in Greenwich Village. In NYC, Matt's store is to guitars what McDonalds' is to burgers. An institution unto itself. :wink:

At forum member Retroverbial's suggestion, I went with a Weber Vintage Series 12F150, 8 ohm, 50W with light dope. The original speaker was just not cutting it for me. The installation was pretty simple. But I had some "pros" bias the amp. Sounds nice to my ears now.

Really nice. There is nothing like a variety tones and you cover a nice bit of tonal territory. Having just one brand or style guitar or amp makes no sense to me. Very nice!!

I have done a little reading in that regard. I sent the serial number into Fender and they responded with a build date of 93. I understood that there were a lot of extra neck/serial number combos that went on to post 89 strats. I have not had the neck off of it.

The guitar came from Matt Umanov Guitars in NYC. It still had the plastic on the pick guard and back plate when I got it, in its original case and all the associated case candy.

The Clapton with its TBX and MDX tone shaping circuits is by far points the most versatile guitar you got to have! :D

[quote="palermog"]Good day Fender Colleagues, been lurking in the back ground for a few years contributing a little. But mostly reading and being hypnotized from so many of you. I thank you all for that, this forum has been an incredible source of re-information and re-inspiration for me on my quest to take up guitar at the age of 56 now 60!

I do hope my attempt at posting a few humongous pics of my gear works! My first attempt.
And! to people like Retroverbial, Supro, Bluesky, Stratele and the rest, you have no idea how much you brainwashed me and my gear selection and the pursuit of my tone or that silly blues sound in my head that nobody else hears but me!
Best regards

What a fine collection you have there :!: :!: You can cover just about everything with one minor sound missing...need something with a P90! Then that collection is complete tone wise :!: :!: :!: :mrgreen:

Of course no collection is truly ever really complete! There is always one more guitar or amp calling out to us...

Tell me about it!

Indeed, it's a fine collection -- with most of the sonic bases covered.

Rawk on!
