Seems that millwalls "Chaos" thread was being hi jacked into a guitar one so thought i would start this.

What guitar or guitars do you own?

List 'em if you've got a few ?

Anyone own a pre '65 fender strat?   

I'll start with what i've got

2007  Burns Marvin signiture reissue    serial N0. 004

Custom built hand made '62 replica Stratocaster in fiesta red , made by Alan Braison from Newcastle in 2002. Custom shop '54 p/ups, clay dot rosewood neck,mint green scratchplate & 1 or 2 minor wiring mods.

1984  Fender Japan  '57  re- issue Stratocaster,  Fiesta red, Seymour Duncan Antiquity u/ps, bit road worn this one, done a hell of a lot of gigs as my main guitar.

Fender squire telecaster '52 replica, translucent blonde, only £250 , but amazing for the price.

& lastly my fave at the moment,  a Stratocaster "Bitsa" I put together myself from bits laying around/ '80's Fender japan body, recent Classic strat "Biffy Clyro" rosewood neck, seymour duncan VS1 p/up's, vintage trem with short arm. Love it  it's just one of those guitars that works , never goes outta tune, sounds brill . As i had most of the parts , total cost probably under 100 quid

Over the past 40 years i've had more guitars than hot dinners    but the original '62 strat was the best

Have a 2002 (or 03 ?) Fender Strat USA (American series) Olympic White,with maple neck.
Also have a Strat copy somewhere in the loft - Hondo iirc, maple coloured body & neck
Have a Stagg jumbo acoustic in Black that I bought  for my son to learn on a few years ago.
DId have an early 70,s Sunburst USA Strat with rosewood neck. I bought it in 77, sold it in 79 as I had lost interest and could nt be bothered bringing it with me when I moved to England. Whadda mistakea to makea.

I do fancy a Les Paul, but it would have to be an Epiphone. The genuine Gibsons are out of my budget,particularily as I very rarely play anyway.

This is mine, a nice yamaha bass which the wife got me for Christmas.  A friend of my neighbour's daughter is giving me lessons.  Once good enough I'll be looking to jam some blues with some mates

I believe that Pitchfork has a 1959 Strat iirc.Value ? around £30,000 I would think.

A bit of blues is about the only thing I can remember how to play these days.

Hank Marvin's   original strat was a '59 .  . used on all the early hits  Apache, Wonderful Land, FBI  etc.  I,ve played that guitar !
 Bruce Welch has it now .    seem to remember he told me it's insured for a £150,000

Dave Gilmour (Pink Floyd) has a Strat with serial number 00001 - God knows the value of that one.
Most expensive one ever sold was Claptons Blackie afaik.Just over a million dollars iirc. He has sold several hundred guitars and a similar number of amps in the last few years to fund his Crossroads centre, for drug/alcohol rehab.
