    Besides his killer playing, Michael made a great point that I hadn't considered before. A guitar that was built in 1954, designed for the music of the time, can be used for any form of music that came after it. Remarkable engineering.

    I always find it amazing that these guitars that were created in a time when hard rock didn't exist ( yet ) react so well to distortion...
    I am the proud owner of a '57 strat and that thing blows away any so-called metal axes...of course it does clean sounds pretty well too 😁😁

      There’s a video on this page where they talk about how Norm wanted to go about restoring this one. I recommend watching that, it’s a fun video. I think there are two parts, the first where they discuss what to do and then part 2 showing the restoration results. Also Lemmo here demoed this guitar also in the condition is arrived in with the previous refin. So this finish you see here is the third time it’s been finished and the second refin. Also it has brand new frets here as well. I can’t remember what else they did. That’s why it looks so clean since it was just restored

    I have a friend that had an old Strat with serial# 056. The Fender logo on the headstock was a rope decal. He traded this fine axe for a '61 Les Paul Deluxe, SG shape, white with 3 gold pickups and that crazy sideways vibrato. Super guitars.

    I actually owned Ike Turners 54 and it was the best sounding strat due to the pickups . Played it through a Peavey classic 4/10 and it sounded like an Orchestra. Before it got away from me , I replaced the 3 way switch with a 5 way . Man the tone was undescribable. So now I have a 59 custom with 5 way ...Total heaven . Have always loved the 2 tone sunburst..Tobacco sunburst etc . Believe it or not I'm playing it through a Fender Champion 100.
