Ever since watching WW for the first time, I wanted a white 60s style strat.



This will be my 6th strat. I hope it sticks...

It’s one of the new Vintera ( ) 60s modified. So like the old Mexican classics, but with a modern neck shape, satin finish, 9.5� radius, medium jumbo wire, and hotter pickups. And that s1 switching.

I got it s/h but it’s basically new. It’s certainly the easiest playing strat I’ve ever had. The 10s that are on it feel like 9s. So might go up to 11s, which I don’t normally do on fender scaled guitars.

Fit and finish is really great, but it’s got that “new guitar� feel that I personally don’t dig. Think I need to roll the fretboard a bit.

Sounds like a strat, but the pickups are pretty hot. I really like the s1 switching. Think I’ll get a lot of mileage out of the neck and bridge together sound.

I’m stuck in work today, and I’d rather be at home murdering some bl00z.

Very nice! I remember having similar Strat twinges watching that scene; the slightly off-white vibe is so sick. 3 SINGLE-COIL PICKUPS AND WHAAAAAMMY BAR

I wanna try a bunch of those Vinteras out, on paper they look like good bang-for-buck. Sound-for-pound?

Also, S1 switching is great; I put a 'neck on' switch in my bitsta Strat (back when it was SSS), and I used the neck-bridge sound soooo much, always seemed better balanced than the Tele equivalent.

Nice

Was looking at these the other day. Quite fancy the burgundy mist one.

It’s the second most resonant strat I’ve had (the avri I sold because I hated the sunburst will haunt me forever). Not too light, not too heavy. Haven’t weighed it, but I’d say about 7.5-8lb.

The pau ferro board will take a bit of getting used to. It’s actually incredibly easy under the fingers as it’s really tight and hard (matron), but just feels a bit unfamiliar. More of an ebony feel actually.

Looking forward to playing some this weekend (if I ever get out of work). So far I’m much preferring it with a big muff compared to the rat. Not explored the clean tones too much yet.

Congrats, Gus. Looks super classy. White strats with rosewood fingerboard have something magical about them. I remember seeing one in a store before I even knew how to play and it gave me thrills - I asked to hold it and it was super light. The feeling probably came from seeing the pictures of Hendrix playing one. At this point I feel like strats are ultimate guitars and so comfortable that I always wonder why I'd need anything else

Hey! Read the sign!
