    haha. I know my best friend (My son's Godfather) was given the strat by his father when he was only a few years old. My friend played for years and years all through college and only recently decided to go strictly acoustic.

    At my son's birthday party everyone's jaw hit the floor when he opened the obvious present...

    that is a sweetheart rifle he's got there. simply outrageous.

    Royal Tee, in the pics you posted up of mine, the Budweiser Star body wasn;t showing until now. that was number 2 of only 2 ever made in the books at Jackson guitars. The first one was built for a guy named Chris Holmes who played for a band called WASP. He was married to Lita Ford for a while,m they got in a fight and supposedly she smashed his to pieces and the surgeons at the jackson custom shop couldn't save it. So the one i owned was the only other official one ever made by Jackson. The big deal about it is that it is made with a "strat" headstock, and a reverse one at that. fender, before they bought charvel guitars, put a cease and desist on all other guitar companies making guitars with their trademark strat style headstock on them. i bought the guitar for $6500.00, i sold it for $6500.00 in 2004, i broke even. i didn't want to sell it, i had no choice unfortunately. That guitar today is worth 20-30k from what i am told.

    I was always afraid of them pointy guitars.

    You could put your eye out if you weren't careful.

    Technically these guys are great, but they lack passion and soul , they just sound like machines. I dunno, maybe its me.

    It's the epiphone. I like it,but play the fender more. I had a vinate Gibson V at one point,wish i never sold that one,but as i got older i realized that being able to sit down was more important than a cool shape.

    I just bought a 2012 Fender american strat in white with the maple neck. Can't wait til it gets here. They are said to be the best standards made yet,they have the 50s in them. Also got the fender floor pedal(will get a small tube one day). My tastes in playing have changed a lot,so it's all new to me again. It's so much fun with having youtube for whatever lesson you can think of these days.
