Eldon’s famous Strat in a studio shot that I had made while we were rewinding the center pickup on his guitar. I thought I would never have another opportunity to get an image, so I took it on myself to have several professional photos taken in case something happened to the guitar. I was blessed at a later date to be able to buy the instrument.

I have had several Zemaitis Style Metal Tops and Pickguards engraved by the Great Walter Bricker.  Here are a couple for you to enjoy.

Buck Munger thinks Sunn’s greatest contribution to music technology was their bass amplifier. Jimi was evaluating a guitar amplifier with high frequency horns in the speaker cabinets. Ever see those in a guitar amplifier before or since? Norm Sundholm was a bass player. I think Conrad, his brother the high-fidelity nut, might have… had some input on the guitar units. Standing next to Jimi I had forgotten all about Jimi’s cabinets having horns. He sounded like the same three people he did at Monterey. The combination of the bass and guitar stacks sounded good. Really, good. Noel’s JBL-D 140s filled the hall with a thumping bottom. Jimi played his guitar like it was covered in mirrors, and he was reflecting a beam of light at his speaker cabinets, but it wasn’t light, it was sound. I could hardly wait to hear “Wild Thing”. I thought the sound-check went swell, but Jimi, apparently, not so much. By showtime, the roadies had opened the backs of the Sunn cabinets and disconnected the horns. For the show Jimi would fly with four JBL D-130s. Gerry Stickles, Jimi’s road manager, assured me everything was going fine and our endorsement deal was surely going to happen. Gerry was the first British Road Manager I dealt with and he was an impressive individual. In those days there was a distinct rank difference between Road Managers and Equipment Managers. Visible in their uniforms, the Road managers were the Officer corps dressed in leather and snakeskin jackets and the Equipment Managers, were the enlisted peons dressed in tee shirts. Gerry huddled with Noel and Jimi and reported they were very happy with the power output and we were good to go for the show. I ran to the pay phone and called Tualatin to report our progress. They were a little distressed to hear Jimi would be doing the test flight without full speaker power. I waved Jimi over to the phone so he could explain about the horns, “This is the president of the company, Jimi, “ and handed him the phone. I backed up out of hearing range to give him privacy. I’m not sure what transpired, but I believe this is the first time Jimi was ever heard to say, “You’ll never hear surf music again.”

Every time I put my hands on  one I remember why I think these are the best Strat for the money.

Cool American Strat! Has the Roland pick up and all the effects, sounds great. Afew marks and dings on the body (minor)but overall great condition especially the neck.

Just another great MIM Strat that has a small tweek with a big difference.

The cool thing about these MIM Strats is they are very affordable and can be tweeked to play just as you like. Your not so worried about nicks and bumps because you’ll probably add a few yourself, just that it feels good with a that Strat tone.
