If you drop a strat in water, will it float?

WHY ????

10-4 good buddy, over and out!

Im interested whether if it does float, if it floats horizontally or vertically too.

I think to be a true test you should test both nitro and poly finishes combined with both vintage and two point trems.

String gauge could also be an important factor.

However, tone fairies cannot swim so in either case your tone will suffer.

Maybe you should ask Letterman, if he hasn't done it yet, he can test it for ya

Yep I believe it would float. It's wood that's completely dried out. So yep. Probably would float. So is it flooding at your house or what?

More important will it blend

I think he's on a cruise ship off the coast of Somalia

Well i had an arguement with a friend the other day saying if our ship sank, the fenders and possibly the ibanezes would be alright, But all the gibsons would sink.

We were on the edge about Ibanezes because they're pointy and have less body mass but have much wider necks

As for gibson we're confident they'll sink.

I love will it blend. Thats almost as good as kicked in the nuts

My 1950s Les Paul floats neck down in the pool.
This sounds like a conversation that may have started after a few cold ones late at night.

I think Gibson guys already know the answer to that question... or they tried to "relic" some gibbys in a very unusual way...
