Mexican strats I love them a few upgrades and you are still ahead of the game in savings.

A ramble can’t sleep work tonight. I just put in a treble bleed in my sons friend strat he is the second owner and this guitar is stellar it’s ash natural finish rosewood fretboard serial # is telling me late 2000’s. Whoever owned it before loved this guitar new tuners and nut aftermarket custom shop sixty nines and they went the brass route on the block and claw down to the saddles.

What they are making in Ensenada is just amazing these strats are old school like the 60 and 70 standards that I grew up playing. Today we have so many options from amps to guitars in decent price a few upgrades or amp mods you’re good to go. Recently now just bear with me I’ve had at least five coffees the boys went to work they then will come home knock out cyber school and I ramble.

Home use we use 1-5 watt marshals also a 5 fender clone of a champ that Liz had built for me as Christmas gift years ago. Yet recently I had 18 watt combo modded only reason I bought it was for the 2-12 green backs I knew they were aftermarket yet I took it to a friend who builds amps said hey drop in your JTM 45 6v6 builds patch it wanna be able to blend.

And give me the option of well now opened up we’re probably 20 watts yet I can drop it to 10 or 5 watts as well. Price was so much cheaper than buying an amp with same feature with a well known name on panel and now Dad has all the headroom anybody could possibly need.
