satin finish refers to the absence of a thick, final, lacquer overcoat that makes the guitar typically shiny. however, there are many types of 'satin' finishes employed by various manufacturers, majority of them employ a very thin, protective overcoat as a blanket for the stain's logevity. others choose to pre-mix the lacquer with the stain instead of a seperate, final application.

damn... that is a real looker... reminds me of the Mary Kaye signature strat (there's one at the Bras Basah showroom now). White and gold hardware is absolutely gorgeous

are the jimmie vaughan strats good?

 

[MrE]

are the jimmie vaughan strats good?

yes.


1) Maple fretboard
2) medium jumbo frets
3) i love the v-profile neck (not everyone's preference - you have been warned)
4) Tex-Mex pickups (can you spell H O T)
5) no-load tone control for middle pickup (for those about to rock...)
6) tone control for bridge (normal strats don't have tone control for bridge PU)

i only wish i had gotten mine in another color.... but i got it second hand, so...

but hey it looks like an EC signature strat hehe....

that's kinda misleading, because it's selling for $800 nett upon subsequent enquieries... :roll:

there's definitely more character from the Tex Mex than regular Std model pickups. i hear more twang & there's a more pronounced reaction to overdrive.

i had a similar misconception from their web prices... later i found out that the prices on the website do not include GST

do the math and u'll realise that 761.90 x 1.05 = 799.995

yeah, gritty overdrive is easily attained with those Tex Mex PUs

thank you mr. accountant sir 8)

i wouldn't quote prices off web pages, i prefer getting them from sales staff.

Correct lah.
$761.90 + 5% GST is $800
