Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
I e always got an "itch" for something.. I also have a new guitar itch! Not that there's anything wrong with my premium Gibson Les Paul Custom.. Which is what I consider the king of all electric guitars. It just doesn't get any better... but I want a Fender Stratacaster or Telecaster as well to go with it. One of the reasons I'd like a 2nd guitar is because the Les Paul is SO heavy! I mean it's a tank! If I'm standing playing the LP, I'll start feeling the weight of it after a while.
I have two requirements for the Fender guitar.
1. It must have the maple fingerboard. (This is the lighter colored "blonde" fingerboard.) To me, these just look great and are so smooth feeling while playing. Have always wanted one with this!
2. It must have the "HSS" pickup configuration. (Humbucker, single coil, single coil) this narrows it down to about 3/8ths of all Fenders on the market. It's not that this config is rare, it's just that the standard "SSS" configs are all over the place.
