Soooooo. I came home from work today and put up the rest of the studs that I had on hand. Now I have to check the back and see how many more I can afford to buy right now. I figure I neeed about 50 more to get 99% of it done.

Bad news. As pops was lending a hand yesterday, he enlightened me to a 60's Fender Stratocaster that will be needing a new home. I am going to have to see about being that guitar's adopted father.:D

Choices, choices....what to do. Basement or guitar....hmmmm.
Send me that OLD Strat, you don't need nuthin like that to get in the way of fish keepin' LOLOL

I think I have the unofficial OK to go check it out. I have wanted a Strat for years! Hopefully it turns out to be in great shape.

Yeah an Old Fender Strat with hum-bucking pickups, alot of Classic rock, (which by the way was Acid rock during it's day) was played with a Fender of that vintage...Some of them are worth tens of thousands of dollars...
;) ;) ;)

I know that this one does have humbuckers on it, plus has locking nuts on it too.

I saw one on the antique road show, white with birch colored neck, chrome accents white pick guard and a small Fender amp.
It was somebodys gramps' worth 20K :WHOA:

that blew my mind...this one had penciled serial numbers which are factory authentic. They used to hand number them, till somebody at the factory penciled in some obscenities, (ultra rare, Big BIG $$$) then they went to the ink stamp...it's under the neck plate in that recess...
