4,347. Washington. Feb 15, 2021. #11. ido1957 said: I was talking to a collector today. He mentioned he had bought 4 pre-CBS Strats, 3 of which were mediocre sounding and one that was "one of those holy grail Strats". He had all of them on hand to compare at the time so it was easy to compare. He sold the three that didn't cut it.

Guitarist Aynsley Lister plus Guitarist Magazine reviewers Richard Barrett and Neville Martin put a bevy of 'Holy Grail' vintage Stratocasters from the 50s, 60s and 70s up against straight-out-of-the-box Strats from Fender's 2024 range.

Oct 1, 2022. #1. Hi, I'm looking at getting one of the Wudtone bridges for a Strat build MJT body (I'm going for a 60's look so am leaning towards the vintage 50's) what is the difference between these two bridges - tone-wise and use? I see the plate on the Holy grail looks thicker on the rear, but I'm not sure what other differences

It's got the 6-screw vintage assembly and in my research I found a few options that seems to be better overall. Super-Vee BladeRunner and Wudtone. I'm leaning more towards Wudtone due to reports that the BladeRunner can be quite stiff, but I'm unsure what the IRL difference between the big block'd Holy Grail and the 50's vintage.

This expensive, limited edition American-made Strat is for those who want a vintage '50s Stratocaster but can't (or won't) pay the tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars that one costs.

What I hear in modern single coils are rounder, punchier tones that can handle a little dirt (or even a lot). These are great for most modern blues, pop, southern rock, etc. "Vintage wound" single coils sound thinner to me, but they have those classic strat characteristics like bright, chimey clean tones, and the "quack" in position 2. That's a

Squier has come a long way from being a cheap brand, to being a brand of excellently made guitars at an affordable price. And the Sonic Strat is the best example of

If you want that classic California 50s Stratocaster tone, the Fender Custom Shop Hand-Wound '51 Stratocaster is one of the best single coil pickup sets you can buy. Pros. Period-correct construction. Middle pickup is reverse wound for hum-canceling in positions 2 and 4. Extremely well-rounded tone.

I think it was probably an honest question, but agree it's kinda pointless. The '59 LP is a "holy grail" guitar because not many were made, and then Gibson stopped. Fender started building Stratocasters in 1954 and never stopped. Minor changes every year ('56 specs were all over the map), major changes in late '59, then CBS after 1965.

The Strat Goes Beyond Fender's Branding. A huge part of the Strat's allure to me was how the modular design could be tweaked, modified, and expanded past just the standard Fender Strat. The Strat

Sterling By Music Man Stingray SR50. This is the least Strat-y of all the Super Strats on this list, but it's also one of my favorites. The Stingray body style resembles a slightly offset Strat
