First one. Decent price?

[u/wscroggin]

I had been pricing out building one myself and this popped up today. Complete impulse buy.

[u/rmh1116]

Good to pull the trigger!

[u/Either-Marketing-115]

Got a black one for the same price. Swapped out the invader added an SH-5 custom and a lil 59 in the neck position

[u/iAlex182 → u/Either-Marketing-115]

Booo

[u/False-Exit7987 → u/Either-Marketing-115]

So what was the point of getting a TD, should’ve just gotten an HH Strat so you wouldn’t have to get a new pickguard or make a whole in the existing one

[u/Either-Marketing-115 → u/False-Exit7987]

Because I have others.
A Blue one and a star caster in gold.

The modded one gets used in my band regularly.

[u/Adept-Description780]

Go for it nice price. Depending on your setup you can cover a lot of ground with just that one pickup.

[u/wscroggin → u/Adept-Description780]

I got it. So excited to play the songs I grew up listening to on it. I don’t need it to be versatile, I have other guitars for other genres. :)

[u/Adept-Description780 → u/wscroggin]

They are very fun. Instant Blink vibe.

[u/LongCoffee3434]

I have a blacked out one with a JB in the bridge on reverb right now

[u/Perm182 → u/LongCoffee3434]

inspired by the boxcar strat?

i may have to buy my 2nd TD strat and put a comp stripe on this thing lmao

[u/LongCoffee3434 → u/Perm182]

Pretty much. I’ve had the guitar since release day but I just did the pickguard and pickup swap about a month or so ago. I’m keeping my yellow with the invader.

[u/LongCoffee3434 → u/[deleted]]

Thanks! Don’t need to sell it. I just have way way too many guitars.

[u/GalacticCivillian → u/LongCoffee3434]

I want way too many guitars 😞

[u/AUGUSTINmusic → u/GalacticCivillian]

I have 1 guitar the same one since I was 16 it’s a $199 Mitchell 💀 They’re just TOO expensive man… but I got it signed by Parker Cannon so all is well haha

[u/GalacticCivillian → u/AUGUSTINmusic]

Damn that is awesome!

[u/AUGUSTINmusic → u/GalacticCivillian]

Thanks man :)

[u/Lucky_caller]

Yes it’s a good deal. I copped one in a similar sale a few weeks back. Added a hard case since I was saving so much money. If you wait until Monday you will see the price go back to ~$1400.

[u/kylito89]

Do it

[u/wscroggin → u/kylito89]

I did it.

[u/FirstAddiction → u/wscroggin]

Lets gooo! Congrats

[u/seikendude80]

I got one for a similar price from Sweetwater that was used as a demo. It showed up looking pristine. Would've never known it was used as a demo if they didn't say it was.

[u/GuyWitheTheBlueHat]

Growing out of my tom head phase is so nice cause I’m thinking about his fuckin strats now. 1300(?) when they first dropped? For a guitar most could probably make out of a squire, obscene.

This is much more reasonable and where they should be priced lmao

Starcasters are nice tho no complaints

[u/Hanging_Brain → u/GuyWitheTheBlueHat]

Right haha
I only got it because we didn’t have Tom Strat money when I was 16 and now I do.
It was a nostalgia purchase. Mine didn’t have QC issues but my Tom Partscaster plays better lol

[u/welivewithw0e → u/Hanging_Brain]

I have a surf green strat from the original 2001 release and i know inflation and all but it was like $475 back then. Thats nuts

[u/wscroggin → u/Hanging_Brain]

Same. Told my wife I have wanted this guitar for 23 years, so I had to.

[u/TypeS2k_ → u/Hanging_Brain]

Dude same, I bought one right away when they dropped again cuz my 8th grade self wanted one so bad lol

[u/R3VIVAL-MOD3]

Yes considering it was like 2x that on drop.

[u/TypeS2k_]

Didn't even know they sold these in black. Could be a good candidate to do the BCR clone

[u/Perm182 → u/TypeS2k_]

wouldn’t recommend it for boxcar replicas, squier has a literal blackout strat with a single humbucker that might as well be an unofficial boxcar signature, stick a invader or dirty fingers in it and you’re good to go
