Fraud is right. 'Di matched yung tuners sa body. AFAIK, Klusons pa rin dapat yan kung '65 and Pre-CBS. Nice headstock, though. I've never noticed 'dem big heads as sexy as yours. Debnebit. Tama si Jong (Bakit?) about big headstocks.  :-D
go na pare.get one big ass headstock.go for the japanese ones muna.yung 69 is the best imho.hehehe.yan lang ang headstock por moi.kasi im big.hahahaha.
I believe that the definition of definition is reinvention. To not be like your parents. To not be like your friends. To be yourself.

Completely.

Bakit kasi hindi Gitarista erpats ko eh, hehe.

Naalala ko tuloy nung nanghihingi ako ng pambili ng first Strat ko.

Ako: Oy, bibili ako ng Electric Guitar.
Dad: O ayan 2000, wag ka muna bibili ng masyadong maganda, dun ka sa Sta.Mesa, marami kang pagpipilian, ibalik mo sukli ah.
Ako: (Kamot ulo, tameme, speechless talaga)

Simula nang usapan na yan, sinabi ko sa sarili ko, mag-iipon na nga ako pang-suporta ng bisyo. Haha.

The latest addition to my strat family. I now have 5.

I got this Fernandes Function Strat today from Bertz. I traded by HAMER Californian for it.

Before I got it, I figured I was going to want to change the pickups, but it sounds very sweet just like it is, so I'm going to leave it stock:

A couple of years ago, I bought a Fernandes Function Strat from grecoslave and it was a dayum good guitar. But I got a bad gas attack for a PRS and sold it.

I still regret selling it, especially how things turned out with the deal my son made on that PRS that I had to honor.

I'm glad I got another one. Fernandes makes very good strats - very comparable with the real thing.
