NFBGD: Road Worn Vintera 50s Strat...

[grumpah]

Picked this up so I would have an actual Fender Built Strat. Set up consisted of setting the string height, decking the trem, and tuning to Eb. Intonation was perfect out of the box as was relief. The tuners are less than stellar but everything else is quite decent, including the pickups.

It is nice to have something from Fender. Sure you can put something together yourself, or pick something from one of the many S-type guitar makers, but having a real deal Fender too just completes the collection. At least for a while. Then you can also compare with what you already have. The Vintera Roadworns are great guitars, so nice pick

Congratulations, those are great guitars. I love red strats, and especially like the gentle relic look on them!

Have the same model next to me right now, great guitar especially for the price. Got mine used, so price was crazy good.

I am used to higher ratio Hipshots so they will take some time to get used to. In playing it last night I think the nut slots are a bit tight which keeps the string taught when the tuner is turned to slacken the string.
