Going to post the rest of my guitars here for the next couple of days and talk about them to get some content on the page.
First up is the workhorse, my 2010/11 American Strat. It was sold to me as a 2011 from CME on Reverb but the serial number says 2010. Anyways it’s all standard parts except I swapped in locking tuners.
Probably my most “boring” guitar but I love it and use it all the time. I have 2 other Strats that are a bit more exciting so I try to keep this one pretty stock. Mostly use it for anything that requires a clean sound or funky rhythms. It’s my go to for solos too where I’ll usually use a Plumes or Hoof for gain.
Beauty. Boring definitely has its place. Keeps you focused and down to business. After having the Wilkinson roller nut on a Deluxe Plus I wish that style had become more prevalent.
What do you think of Wilkinson hardware in general? I’ve been considering the Vintage brand guitars as they use a lot of Wilkinson stuff.
My only exposure is my '94 Deluxe Strat Plus, which I bought new in '94. Still have it, never had any issues with any of it. Tuning and intonation stability have been fantastic.
