Hey guys....my Rock Strad arrived in great shape. I am very pleased with it. This guitar sounds absolutely G R E A T !! And looks really good. It's been well cared for, John was apparently tellin it like it was about it's lack of use over the years. NO beltbuckle art, no dings, dents, scratches, scrapes, chips...nothing but shiny finish. Beautiful......and those marks we discussed a bit in the other thread are apparently flaws through the natural flame. Doesn't even look like adhesive or moisture residue beneath the finish....appears totally natural and totally smooth.

What do you think....a good pair?

Those should make it into the Coffee Table book JD, just stunning. Now stop it already and save some for the rest of us! Mike.

JD -

That's a great looking X110;

I shoulda kept the one I bought new in 1976 ............

It was an earlier model - like yours - with the open book headstock.

I traded it in on my X340 in 1977.
