Vintage Fendar Strat’s for only $100.00!
Yes, You read that correctly. That’s what Eric Clapton paid for 6 vintage
Stratocasters and Telecasters in a Nashville guitar shop back in 1970. I was just reading about this in an interesting story on the Fender website.
Three of these guitars he gave as gifts to friends George Harrison, Steve Winwood
and Pete Townsend. Eric then took the other three guitars and using the body from
one, the neck of another and the electronics from one and built his famous “Blackie”
Fender Strat.
Blackie has probably become one of the most famous guitars ever used by by a
Rock or Blues Guitar player.
This caught my attention because I knew that Stevie Ray Vaughn had also “built ”
his famous Stratocaster from different vintage guitars as well. What is interesting is
that where Clapton had chosen a V-shaped neck for his Strat, Stevie chose an
Oval-shaped neck for his Guitar.
For comfort, control and precision guitar playing the neck and fretboard are the
focus. There are other ingredients in this mix: the fretboard itself, the size of the
frets, the radius of the fretboard and of course when it comes to playing or learning
the guitar one must also “know” all the notes and where they are on the fretboard.
Because this is so important to playing or learning the guitar I researched and found a system that you can use to learn the all the notes on the fretboard very quickly and easily.
It is a very good system, easy to use and very inexpensive. I highly recommend that you get this system right away. You will see a big improvement in your ability to play your guitar from the very beginning. Click right here and I will hook you up right away.
