I like the strats with gold pickguards...like Pee Wee Crayton's.

well, there certainly is something very striking about that one. it actually looks halfway decent on red, i don't think i've ever seen one like that.

Yes,I think that was a production model. Leo Fender gave Pee Wee that strat in '54.

I agree. What a shame. Or what a joke. Thousands for that scratched up and shit....?

My jammin buddy, a fanatic guitar collector, just received his shell pink Fender Bass VI from the Fender Custom Shop. Matching headstock, MOPearl block neck inlays and matching MOP pickguard. Not a 6-string bass, it's more like baritone guitar. With the strings closer together so it almost requires a flat-pick. We played it last night and it's unique and takes some gettin used to but the point is...

They charged him $6000 and then after they shipped it with some gross errors (way unlike the Fender Custom Shop), they rebuilt it and charged him $3500 total. And the thing is, it's pristine with a beautiful case and Custom Shop documents. He's a pro and will use it mainly in the studio, not as the go-to axe for gigs, but he's not shy of takin it to some gigs. He'll protect it and it'll appreciate.

What the hell is this scratched up and shit $2400 guitar gonna be worth in 25 years...

?

Love the axe you got.

Cheers,

a 2011 Fender "Swinger"?

That's weird, it's like a Duo-Sonic with the Swinger's lower cutout added.

It's a shadow.

I thought it was a shadow at first but after watching the vid I'm pretty sure it is actually there because you can see through it to the wall around 1:44, and reflection off a body edge in the cutaway.

seriously, what's that black shit on the pickups

looks like maybe the pickup covers were originally black and then painted white, which has chipped off. he was a serious shredder.

If its a 54, those will be bakelite pickup covers. When you play hard, they wear away, revealing the bobbin underneath.
