Forgive my ignorance. I am just curious. Do you have a hard time getting Strats and parts etc in Portugal? Is it popular their?

don't worry about it when i was in canada i had that fear... but i know of 4 music stores two of which are my main choice for gear it is pretty hard to find old guitars that nobody wants though sometimes there are old fenders i wish i had like the cyclone or discontinued strats even the vista series jagmaster and other discontinued guitars it's not easy here but having a band kinda helps me get through that barrier i found this 1979 aria once that this guy wanted to sell for example but i was saving for my olympic white strat so i decided not to buy it

That is such a gorgeous color!!! It ranks up there with LPB and Brown Burst for me..

ABS,

some people don't think that for them to discontinue the finish but i believe it is a pretty wicked finish for a strat

Here's my 2003 MIM HSS Strat that I picked up on eBay for €280. In fact I loved it so much, I traded my USA Deluxe Strat for a Les Paul. I think the colour is amazing and lookes really nice with a rosewood fret board. It sounds incredible and the neck is amazing.

ralfcaetano,


I believe I know the dealer who took the picture of the sage green Strat that metropolis74 sent you.

Go to www.chrisguitars.com

The dealer is Chris and I've known him for years. I've bought a few guitars from him and he's always fair. He may still have the guitar.
