  • Today's guitar already has a new home, but its so awesome that we still wanted to share it with you all! A well loved guitar that not only survived years of playing, but made it through Hurricane Katrina dry and unscathed. To top it off, its got an old pin-up sticker on the body just adding to the vibe! Today we've got Aaron Hiebert in the shop, so expect more great Strats this week!

    This is the best Strat I've heard on the web for the last 10 years. It comes very close to the number one of SRV. I would do anything to get a guitar like that.

    Got that bell ringing sound, for sure. I personally believe ... after playing Fenders for 61 years, that pickups only improve after they are plugged up with juice running through them ... I could not explain it from a physics standpoint; but electricity and vibrations really make for better guitars. Sweat and nicotine doesn't hurt either.

    I'm not even gonna watch this cuz I hate relics. Everybody knows guitars don't really age like that. 😂

    I love New Orleans and I love old Strats. And I always enjoy Aaron’s playing. ❤

    Not sure y’all will get this - I got verification from Lindy Fralin that my pickups are definitely vintage. When I bought them 15 years ago I was told they were 1959s - Mr. Fralin said that that it would be practically impossible to state exactly they were 59s. Do y’all have any ideas that can help me better date my pups? I’m in dire need of money and would like to sell them. Thanks🙏🙏🙏

      @@Livelaughlimpbizkit How to see in the video, the volume knob was not moved. But Aaron switched to the Neck pickup for solo. Maybe he played the rhythm part just quieter with the pick.

    It's in the Rory Gallagher/Stevie Ray number one zone.That thang ain't nothin else but a genuine honky tonk war horse! She's got the scars and all the creds anybody could want.
    Too bad she costs millions of dollars.
    A real thin coat of nitro lacquer will do that same thing in about 5 years. It will "relic" itself without any help at all. If you are willing to chase down old parts, you can horse trade your way into a partscaster that's very close to this, if you sweat the small stuff.
    Ask me how I know.
    Those of us who don't have Sultan of Brunei Money can still warm our hands by the old Fender fire, it's just a little bit more of a lengthy process, and of course, fat comic book guy from "The Simpsons" will say:
    *"Worst Stratocaster ever. I will give you twenty dollars for it."*
    But piss on him, and all the other cork sniffers.
    You can get close enough for rock and roll if you're patient and you take your time.
