After refinishing, the reloaded Body is well prepared for the marriage with the neck.
My 1977 Fender Stratocaster is finally ready to play. This iconic guitar, known for its unmistakable sound and vintage charm, has been carefully restored to its former glory. Every detail, from the rare black sunburst finish to the original hardware (except the replacement vintage vibrato), has been carefully preserved to maintain its authenticity.
In addition, I have created the Vintage Guitar Monitor Index. This index is a comprehensive tool that can be used to track and assess relative market value. By analysing various factors such as age, condition and originality, the Vintage Guitar Monitor Index provides a valuable classification for collectors, musicians and enthusiasts. Whether you are looking to buy, sell or simply appraise these timeless instruments, this index is a reliable resource for understanding their value.
To own a vintage guitar like the 1977 Fender Stratocaster is not only to own a piece of music history, but also to connect with a legacy that has inspired generations of musicians. With the Vintage Guitar Monitor Index, I want to help the community make informed decisions and foster a deeper appreciation for these remarkable instruments.
I am very proud to present the first Vintage Guitar Monitor Index certificate:
This guitar is simply a dream. Sound, action, tremolo, looks: perfect in every respect. Now that the neck has been refretted, Blackbird is being nicely played in.
Back to the original look and feel…
First and foremost – for me – a guitar must sound good and be comfortable to play, regardless of whether it is brand new or very old. The No-Tone-Mod (thx to Daniel) for the neck pickup may be a sacrilege for the collector, but for the player and for the sound, at least to my taste, it is essential. That’s what happened!
