prices are almost the same as US fenders

Ano po ba yung mga qualities na dapat suriin pag bumibili ng strat?

[itchybrain]

My hardcase came with the guitar also. I dont know if merong orig Fender case sa yupanco but I suggest go for SKB or Gator case nalang meron sa Audiophile...

Thanks! Ngayon ko lang nakita itong reply. 

Got a tweed case for my '54 na from Bluscon.

Bro, madaming related topics dito sa thread na ito about your question. Just read on!

My take: research on the year and make of the strat body, neck and other parts whether an MIA or an MIJ. Kung MIJ, which i'm really a big-ass fan, try goin' to www.21frets.com or google MIJ Fender Stratocaster.

I hope this helps. Happy Fender Strat hunting!

ask ko lang kung may difference ba sa tone kung matanda na yung wood? or its just for the looks?

[rurounichild]

salamat SRV..

hehehe..

[grasyaps]

yup, mismo.

re: your inquiry on the quality of makes, i think...

1. MIA, CIJ (crafted in japan models are higher quality than MIJ)
2. with MIJ as a close second
3. MIM is a close third, sometimes second
4. MIK (with the exception of the protone series, which for me, ranks # 2 or 3)
5. CIC, MIC crafted in china are the most entry-level strats.

i say MIA are a tid bit better than MIJs. not worth the buck though.

[grasyaps]

here's my "BANDILA" guitar... hehehe






update lang, hehe.

this is an american vintage 62, right? exactly what i want. pati kulay!!!

saan at magkano score mo dito? galing tate?

at sayo ba ung maganda ang wood na brown burst?

[troysirauloka]

hi mga ser. tatanong ko lang sana sa mga may Fender American/Standard na strat.. bili kasi ako ng pickguard sa epektos para sa squier ko at nde ko sure kng fit sya ang sabi lang sakin ay fit ang mga pickguards na binebenta nila for a Fender American/Standard. tanong ko lang sana kung magkakasya kaya ito sa isang squier na strat.  maraming salamat.

[troysirauloka]

huwalang nagreply haha. thanks anyway

[mikep]

Normally, it will fit.  If you have 11 holes in your pick guard and you put an 11 hole replacement PG, it will fit.  I think there is a pickguard which is the one installed in the 70s Strats that has a different placement of one hole.  Otherwise, I think all pickguards for Strats whether Squire or Fender are interchangeable.

FWIW 

[troysirauloka]

thanks

hehehe lalang.... 

sali ako. this is my Fernandes revival strat. I gotta say this is my first REAL strat. Man this guitar kicked some major BUTT!!! And this is also my first time to use a strat with 3 SC, coz ever since i started playing guitar ive always played a fat strat.

hmmm personally I'd stay away from basswood bodies for strat...in my opinion it lacks response and the highs aren't that pronounced compared to alder bodies...

@zigggg
try going to yupangco, madami sila fender strat na dumating recently, better check kung may hiway one pa sila or yung mga MIM, or if you have the dough baka may American Deluxe Ash pa sila,yun nga lang Ash yung body hindi Alder.

ya true....but of alll i'd prefer agathis coz it's light 

[fraudulentzodiac]

well the stratocaster was designed to be lightweight anyway hehe.
I'd still go for alder hehe. my strat ain't that heavy naman with a solid alder body.

i just a strat last week and brought it to mang Jun Castro. i'm having it intonated, fix the 5-way switch, fret/neck adjustment, and some of the parts changed.. i'll post pics by next week..

talk about the '5-way' switch.. is it true as they say, it's really wear and tear? you really have to change it in time specially if you use it often? kasi nasisira eh..

like any other product, yes it will wear out in due time especially if you use the selector like i do. I flick it like crazy pero matagal naman. ive never changed a p up selector iun my entire life and the oldest strat i have is 9yo, so that tells alot.

[Red_Strat]

My E-series MIJ Fender strat. I changed the pickup covers, knobs, & switch tip to white.
No more guitar GAS for me.
