I decided not to buy another Squier Bullet Strat and bought this used Fender Hard Tail Strat instead.

Hardtail Strats are very cool. I wish mine were one. I hate Strat trems, though.

That's a pretty big step up from a Bullet, too!

Awesome... Lemme ask, do you like the hardtail cause of the Les Paul? I mean, have you jus gotten use to not needing a trem?

The guy who used to own it(Carson Vester) started the Austin Texas band Honky,with former Butthole Surfer J.D. Pinkus back around 1995.Carson left the band in 1999 to move to Houston.He is more famous as a tattoo artist,he invented a special tattoo gun that is now in wide use in that industry.

yeah, i was never really too big on strats until i played a hardtail. but the one i played was a '59 at guitar center hollywood, so maybe i'm setting myself up for failure.

I feel so outta the loop when things happen in TX that I don't know about... I know the Butthole Surfers, but never heard of Honkey.

Anyways, that paint is awkward. +1 for the upgrade.

just to correct you, its a tattoo MACHINE!
you don't hold it like a gun, nor does it shoot anything(jon)
do you regret selling the honkey stang yet?
i have been looking at otc jaguars on ebay and g-base, i miss mine so fucking much.
i even thought about emailing the guy that bought mine and offering him an extra 200 bucks.

Sorry,I misspoke.I don't miss the Honkeystang so much because I used money I got for it to buy the HT Strat(which I like better).The
one guitar that I did regret selling was my yellow Les Paul so last week I bought it back.
