Hey, what's up man? No worries about the Highway 1. Recently managed to wring a better tone from it so I think it'll be sticking around for a while.

Yeah, Strats are great. Versatile, comfortable to play and very mod-friendly. What more could you ask for?

Hehh. I love the ex-Chanmin Strat too much to let it go. Sorry! :p
 
haha..meet up 1 day...wanna try out your strats...let u try my greco lp too...since i promised to let u try it the last time..
 
the flag was pain to old folks back then, funny enough that years to come it became a design on guitar. Perhaps its like trying to use swastika on anything that has got to do with pop culture and fashion like facial is to face without taking care of the pimples underneath the skin...
 
That pickguard plus the Rising Sun motif may be a liiiiittle bit much, don't you think? ;) I love the way it's done on that Strat, though.

ChanMin: Where'd you get the picture from? Better yet, do you actually own that guitar?


true..but it would be nice if the rising sun pattern on the pkgurad joined the rays on the body itself - making it one big "flag" so to speak

this is the only regular strat i have right now, and i think this one will definitely stay with me longer than any fenders have...mainly due to its nice 13.7" fretboard radius.

hahah... no la ..i dont own that... just happened to see it online. one of the more striking designs on a strat ive seen. Definitely attention grabbing on stage.


NGJINGMING: aiyoh bro.. DIY la... very easy one. let all your rage out on the guitar... and it will start to relic~
