This is a extremely random topic, but I just want to let the world know that I have fallen in love with Fender Guitars..... I have absolutely no idea why, but I suddenly felt a huge pull towards Fenders....
 Also, I noticed that I really don't actually know anything about Fenders.... I know the difference between a Telecaster and a Stratocaster, but that's problaby it. So I was wondering if someone could tell me some basic details between the different types of models (Mexican, American ect.." and such? Thanks =) -------------------- GMC is not just a website...

Another thing, Fender Japan models are awesome. I've tried a few and they're much better than the mexican models IMO

I find them kind of attractive for the price, but never tried one myself .. No problem mate Highway one is relatively new product line in Fender guitar family. 3 (beefed up) hi-gain singlecoils, thin finish that will break easily and allow vintage look relatively early, also has different resonance than normal finish, and greasebucket circuit for a bit different tonal shaping. IMO this is the good bang for buck product, they did cut corners on it, you don't get case (you get a gigbag), so I can recommend this one as a backup for gigs or everyday bashing. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

QUOTE (wrk @ Nov 3 2008, 08:34 AM) Sorry Canis for highjacking your topic with my questions ... we should collect and centralize all the Fender, Gibson, etc. information somewhere.Hehe, no problem  And that's a good idea. The mods could make a "Official Fender/Gibson/Ibanez Thread" for each of the popular brand, and update the first post with links and information ^^ -------------------- GMC is not just a website...

I love strats, the shape of the body is comfortable the string spacing, the neck (most of them). But I like the tone of Mahogany which fender doesn't use, I made a mahogany strat from Warmoth parts that ended up sounding awesome, the one I used in my Hard Rock Shred Solo, I want to make another one but don't know if I'll have the time, it took me over 3 months to give it that finish.

The thin finish is cutting corners IMO, also I'm not sure how hotter pickups, different electronics and thin finish can sound like any other strat. It will sound a bit different, but hey it's still a strat.

Regarding Strats... I've had a Squier Strat for almost a year now, and it's only after playing my new Schecter that I've noticed that the strings on my Squier is extremely far from the fretboard, and makes it unnessicary harder to play on.. Do anyone know if there is any "Do-it-yourself" way to get them a bit closer, or do I have to take it in to some guitar shop?
