Heya all,
This is my 1st tread.
I really dig the sound of George Harrison and Roy Wood who both had a Sonic Blue Strat.
I wonder, from the 2 models mentioned above, which one is a better player, better tone and will be much more value for money?
Cheers and hope to hear from you soon...

Hi Iconoclaster,
Thanks for your opinion.
I also own a CIJ Telecaster 71 RI.
I bought it 4 years ago and the 1st thing I've done was to change the PU's from the generic Tele that it had to a Bare Knuckle Yardbird set.
The 2nd thing was to change the string gouge from 0.09 to 0.10.
These simple mods really changed the guitar to a tone monster with vintage character.
Ever since, everyone digs my guitar and some even wanted to buy it (which will never happen).
I hope to post a pic or some soon.
Thanks
