To me, that is an ideal pup configuration for a fat Strat. That would be a fun guitar to have.

Speaking of price increases. I noticed the new mexican standards are at 550 and up now. What a hike!

At my regular dealer the price jump on guitars has been 20-35%, depending on model. Good thing he likes me!
The increases have been substantial, and really couldn't come at a worse time for buyers or sellers. I was definitely surprised. :cry:

Hey Jay, you diggin' those '69 CS pups? Those are the ones signed by Abigail, correct? Been wanting to test out a set of those to see if I like 'em better than the Fat 50's...

you would think fender would want to give people more of a reason to buy their guitars. this does the opposite.

i was planning on spending my stimulus check on a new mim strat. but now im just gonna get a new laptop.
