Category: Guitar

I play guitars. I own guitars. I own plenty of guitars.

Right now, I have 7 hanging on my walls, two in a case, and one that is on display (it is a vintage Martin Tenor guitar that was my father’s, it is a non-player).

I have multiple electrics, from 1980s inspired super Strats, to a damn fine Strat clone, to hot rodded Telecaster clone, and a pure metal neck through with hot EMG’s.

I have plenty of guitars already, but I wanted to make an addition to my stable. I have long desired to add a Stratocaster to my collection, but the one I want was about $900, and that was just a wee bit high. What I was eyeing was a Fender Player II HSS Stratocaster in blue. The Player series is made in Mexico (and that is not a negative, the plant in Mexico turns out damn fine instruments) and is adorned with a hum bucking pickup in the bridge position, and two single coil pickups. This provides a wide variety of tonal sounds to be dialed up.
