Tell you what I just picked up a little Super Champ XD and love it, I played a blues JR before that and also loved it but it was a little out of my budget. Back to the MIM it was a fat strat to begin with, But had my dealer put in EMGs and flat black pick guard. Also last tone knob doubles as active boost. Either way it just sings.


I finally made up my mind and it was neither the Blues Junior nor the guitar! I ended up ordering a Carvin M3V Micro Head Amp. It will be here Tuesday and I cannot wait.

New here, and thought I would join the club.

Got me a 91 MIM, and love it. Here are the plans for it.

Already put Fender logo locking tuners, neck plate, and updated string saddles.

Purchansed, but not yet put in:

Found a set of custom shop tex specials for half the price on CL, and just ordered this prewired kit with the tone mod and russian PIO cap (.047).

Possible next purchase:

Callaham Bridge block with Gilmour shorty arm

http://www.callahamguitars.com/partsstr.htm

I know its a lot of money to put into a MIM, but I just love the thing, and its kind of like working on an old car. :)

That red strat is giving me a major case of G.A.S. I had a choice of new guitar (almost bought a Wine Red fat strat) or a new amp and I went with the amp - a Carvin V3M. I like the amp a lot but I am still Jonesing for the strat....

My playing is better than my photography. :roll:


Actually aggro, I think from the research I did here and on other forums, that is a Tex-Mex strat. They were MIM in 1995 and 1996. They were the precusor to the Jimmy Vaughan Signature Tex-Mex strat that came out in 1997. I have one in Sonic blue.

Here is an ad for these guitars:

Here is a link to the post I used to id mine.

I have a 2011 MIM Strat HSS SA black on black with maple fret board. It's not only a beauty but it plays beautifully. I also have An American Standard but the MIM is also a very fine guitar. 8) and less than 1/2 the price :)

I traded for a 2004-2005 mint MIM Standard Strat.
After a setup, it is one of the nicest playing Strats
I have ever had my hands on.

I found out something cool about this run of strats.
The brown sunburst cost an extra $50 because the
body is a solid slab of alder. I can see from the arm
cut that mine is a one piece body. Cool.

Hi,
New to the club here. This is my first MIM Strat. I avoided them forever, but man this one just felt great, plays like a champ, stays in tune, setup perfectly. I can't complain. Now I just need to get some nice pickups in it. I'm thinking of taking out that hum bucker, its a bit dull.
I've been playing les paul forever, and thought a "nice" strat was out of reach price wise.
