    At the time companies like Schecter had brass parts,and Fender jumped on the bandwagon too in the late 70,s,had a redesigned bridge with a large brass tonebar,hotter x-1 bridge pup,and came in 3 colors,and return to smaller preCBS style headstock,nice ax

    These came out in 1980 just before the Yamaha guys came in in 1981 and then did the Elite series. The bass counterpart to 'The Strat was the 'Precision Bass Special' which was active. No doubt Freddie Tavares had a hand in designing these- he was there until 1985

      @jimir68 2 месяца назад +1

      Here’s a bit of interesting info. The first run of The Strat with serial numbers starting with E0 didn’t come with gold plated parts and had chrome tuners. Fender used up stuff they had left over from their Brassmaster series of aftermarket parts. If you see one with a S9 ( used for a short time in 81) or G0 serial number then the parts are gold plated, tuners will be gold as well. The Walnut The Strats serial numbers start with CC.

    Ive been using up oxygen for over a half century now, and I remember back in the early 1970s many said post 1964 Strats were better and the 1970s strats were shit. Then in the 1980s said 80s strats were called shit compared the the 1970s and older ones. Again the 90s were shit compares to 1980s and older ones and so on all the way until nowadays. And it will very likely continue on until the last strat is made.

    Not sure if Micheal meant black walnut finish or black walnut strat? But my friend has a late 70s walnut the Paul, I know Fender and Gibson had a special run of walnut guitars in the late 70s early 80s. Made a 68 mahogany thinline with a walnut top for a friend which was amazing. Kind of a mid range focused tone wood. Not too fat not too bright

    This model was offficialy called "the Walnut Strat",which came a little later than the normal the Strat models,like the red,blue and white colored versions.Most of these models have a clear coat finish,but some are finished in a kind of sunburst (from clear coat to dark stained to the body outline).
    Most famous player of this guitar is Roland Orzibal of Tears for Fears,who use it live and videoclips,for the song Shout.
    Lemmo,great idea about your t shirt merchandise,but this green(plastic) colored t shirt,is the worst color,to sell t shirts.
