Friday... Stratified


It's finally Friday. The end of the wretched work week. Well at least I'm working for the next 70 days or so. Whatever happened / did not happen, the week is over. Good riddance.

The urge to Strat today is very strong so out came this one. I'm not averse to rosewood 'board Strats & this is not the only one. Time & again, I would want to play, feel & hear the Strat in action despite being a Tele guy through & through. I also own more Strats than Teles. The one you see above is the Japanese Heritage Strat, currently listing at Swee Lee for $2,149. I bought it some years ago before the price crossed the $2K mark. Everything is stock in this guitar less the pickguard. I kinda dislike white pickguards for both Strats & Teles. I would at least wanna swap the bridge pickup out as it lacks punch for heavy stuff, then again, who does heavy stuff with a bridge single coil? Anyway, it sounds acceptable after hooking up a Tube Screamer in the mix. 

Wishing everyone a good weekend ahead.
