I made an impulse buy of a behringer SF300 (the clone of the FZ2) because they finally had one in stock on Amazon at regular price. All the ones on reverb were like double priced or more so I figured I could wait.

Good news is that I already have two guitars in B standard. I'll make a small demo recording once it comes in.

What’s truly bizarre is someone stole from two recording studios in a car with stolen plates/stolen car with no intention of selling these items because they are setting up their own studio?? That is the theory from the article?

I played this guitar today.

I will probably never own something this nice, I was just trying out a used cry-baby and I didn't even look at the price till later.

But it was smooth and the neck was perfectly fit to my hand and I didn't have to try to make it sound clean and bright it just did.

Say what you want about cheap vs more expensive guitars, but the more expensive Fenders all seem to have this feel that is so smooth. I've tried figuring it out and I just can't.

A bound fingerboard on a Strat looks a little weird IMO. That is an absolutely gorgeous color, though. I'd love a Jazzmaster in it.

A Cry Baby has a minuscule power draw and a 9-volt battery will last most people a year so it’s not really worth bothering with a PSU.

I’ve fixed several broken crybaby pedals over the years, nearly all of them had broken input jacks where someone had stepped on the plug and levered the jack off the board, reflowing the solder fixed them.

now I have more of these drat things than guitars, but they all sound different sooooooo

It'd be interesting to put a Squier Classic Vibe or something similar in the hands of a good luthier and see what comes out. And how much it'd cost to make it feel "great". Sure, the value of it would still be low but if you're looking to create a really nice player perhaps it'd be worth it?

I have a Mexican Strat that was worked over by a Bulgarian luthier (turned into an Yngwie strat basically) and it's an insanely comfortable guitar that's just smooth all over, fret ends just perfect, tuners like butter... feels more refined than my PRS Custom 22.

When I got sassy with my J-bass neck and sanded everything over, it felt like home. Roll them necks! I genuinely don't know why more manufacturers do it, since I'm a dummy dumb with sandpaper taped to a level and I managed to get it right.
