Found a Jeff Beck Strat, sea foam green, Lace pups, for $1350, sound like a good deal?
also, anyone know what year Fender changed to the smaller c neck?

2001.

OK, with that simple answer I went ahead and got it, I figured the new model would have the noiseless pups too. It's got the super huge neck i was hoping for, feels a touch bigger than my '62 Hot Rod, damn heavy too, just under 10 lbs.. It's dated early in the year, so must be right before the change over? neck/body dates are 2/09/01 and 2/12/01, weird, same as my Dad and nephews birthdays. Plus, it's the same colour as

NICE!!!!

Oh, bye the way, NICE!!!

Thanks, only February though, and my gear budget for the year is shot to hell

How do you like the color? A surf green JB is rotating between 1 and 2 on my short list of what to buy. The one I have in mind is newer with the smaller neck and three dual coils. Unfortunately I haven't found one to try or check out the color. The official Fender photo looks a little lighter than your pics. Would you say their photo is pretty accurate?

Very nice; I've always loved the early Becks in the seafoam green.

I think that the Beck and Clapton got their updates mid-year in 2001; the changes were probably announced at the Summer NAMM show that year (could be either June or July; the dates vary each year).

I was trying to get a purple one, but couldn't pass up the price I got this one down to, but I'm diggin' this green. I had the pick guard off yesterday and the colour is much lighter underneath, Fenders pic is right on.



I hear ya, that would have been sweet.

Nice purchase, HemiRam.

Enjoy.
