Highway1 strat/ tele are still available (ltd qty). made in USA. do refer to the review database to know more about the H1 in general, read the strat review. 8)

i have a Hotrails in my tele- re-evaluate your consideration, please. if you wish to retain your tele twang, this pickup won't do you any good.

Heya, hoping to pick up a Squier Standard Strat,

faizal bro, you should aim for the Deluxe Squier, it won't even be $450 during the sale. worth the acquisition IMO.

do swee lee got this? squier affinity pbass?

yes.

hi sub..can recommend some of the worthy strats that we should look out for in the sales?

sure.

American Series Strat should be the first on any strat enthusiast list this coming sale. i would then recommend the Mexican 70s strat- ash body + whole lotta tone. the 60th Ann strat is another good acquisition but do note that it won't be subject to 50% off... the 50th Ann gold finish strat should be considered as well, but IMO the pickups need replacement.

if it's within your budget, the SRV strat is one heck of a strat to own. as this is a signature model, it won't be 50% off, i'll update the relevant disct here once i get details.

 

[PinkSpId3r]

Thanks bro! but is there a 50th anni strat in bras basah showroom? think i miss it.

 

[subversion]

yup- i'm refering to the Mexican version (gold finish).
