    Good enough for Blackmore, Malmsteen, Trower, The Edge, Tipton, Hendrix, good enough for me.

      Me too. The best one I ever played was a 61, though. It was scary good, playing and sounding.

      Geniuses will play what's available to them, it doesn't say much about the quality of the gear in general.

    Folks also complain about the oversized head stock which I love. Very informative video. I want one so bad. 😢

      They are one of the few reasonably affordable semi-vintage guitars. That is compared to 60s Fenders.

    I went back and forth on this for months before buying my first Strat. I reallllly wanted a 70’s Strat but the shortcomings you mentioned and price just couldn’t get me there. I bought an Antigua Vintera ii 70’s reissue and I’m really happy with it. It’s a hardtail as well. Very impressed for the price I paid.

      Glad you got something you like! Vintage guitar collecting is a bit of a gamble. I'm always wondering if these crazy prices will last after all us boomers are gone.

    I just bought a 1979 Strat. I'm really digging it, and like you said, all the "issues" don't bother me at all. Mine is 9.7 lbs. Heavy! Funny, as soon as you demonstrated the neck jerk, I did it on mine and heard it click into place. Thank you!

    I love the 70s strats. Every one I’ve had have been great guitars Only complaint would be the weight of a lot of them

      I can relate. I have a heavy 73 sunburst, and a really light 76 black hardtail.

    70s Fenders are highly variable in quality.

    ciao, ho una Stratocaster del 76 , comprata da me nel 76 e per me è la chitarra migliore di tutte, sento quelle moderne e non sono cattive come la mia, ora usano molti pedali per effetti ma negli anni 70 se avevi il whawha era già tanto. Con il Marshall e la Starocaster attaccata a tutto volume non serviva il distorsore e la gente impazziva. Un saluto dall'Italia amico 👍

      My effects chain until the late 80s was guitar-wah-echoplex-amp. Turn the amp up and put a moving quilt over the speaker cab. It was glorious.

      When they were selling for $350-$800, I got two. I don't think I would pay what people are asking these days for one. I do wonder how long the vintage guitar thing can last.
