1. Good, but I like mine better. I bought an older Mexican Stratocaster
a few years ago. All that's original now is the neck. Has older Demarzio pickups, US Fender tuners, new pick guard and backplate, all gold screws and an entire replaced black alder body from a Fender Starcaster. It sounds really good. I bought it to fix and re sell, but every time I pick it up and play it, ai can't bring myself to sell it.

2. That was pretty cool.
I had often wondered how that tune was played when I'd hear it on the radio.

5. Me, too. I love my Gibson Les Paul Special, and my 3 humbucker SG/Les Paul Custom Epi.

They always sound classier when gold plated.
