It’s still in the car because my wife is sitting in the kitchen…

It’s absurd that I’ve been playing for 37 years and this is my first good SSS Strat. But I’m excited about it. I’m gonna either get a tortoise shell guard to match my HH, or mint green.

I've got my strat off the rack and next to my desk right now. Everybody should have a good strat.

 

That seems like a good price too. I guess part of getting old is remarking on the effects of inflation but I was googling the other day to double check my recollection that when I got my '98 American Standard the market rate was below $1000. And I guess now the equivalent is the.... American Professional II, which is damn near $2k?

 

Anyways, great guitar, olympic white is a great color although you almost need a left handed bridge. Tortoiseshell would look good, mint or... gold might look good? The guard on your big apple strat is a dark tortoiseshell right?

The math checks out for me.

 

I'm sending this to my wife right now.  She's going to say, "you'd have to play 8 hours a day to get your value out of those guitars." 

To which I'd respond, "Ha ha!...."

The guild d-55 arrived today but I’m supposed to let it acclimate for 24 hours. What’s this bullshit and do I have to do it?

Is not bullshit. Though 24 hours seems like a long time.

I had a buddy who played steel and had a fancy custom finish on one of his. Roadie pulled it from a warmish tour bus straight onto a cold theater stage and opened it. Finish went all cloudy and could not be fixed. Or so he told me.

Okay, I waited. Finish is great. Guitar sounds amazing, but in need of a major setup.

Most I ever spent on a guitar was a Rickenbacker 360 12-string fresh from the factory. It was absolute gorgeous and sounded great, and being a Beatles and Tom Petty fan I wanted one for a long time. But that neck kept seriously bowing on it like a bitch, so after about 6 adjustments over several months I sold it, and I was relieved to get my money back out of it. 

I couldn't play it anyway with my fatass fingertips on that skinny neck. I struggle enough with 6 strings.

Dropped it off at the luthier’s house today. Good news - I’m not crazy

Bad news - the neck is off. It has a “belly bulge” between the sound hole and side.

maybe good news - my guy is going to keep it a few days and then render an opinion. It it’s fixable, he can do it. If not, he’ll tell me and I can either return it or send it to Guild to fix.

The Oxblood was always gonna be the one. Several others got up around 750 I think

 

Edit: Shit it looks like Anoushka got over a million too
