    Watching old GOTD episodes because I’m bored. I love Lemmo, but sometimes I feel nostalgic for the Agnesi days. 70s strats are underrated. I especially like the natural finish with the big CBS era headstock. Hendrix played a CBS era, Yngwie has the big headstock on his guitar, and Ed king used a 70s strat on Sweet Home Alabama. There’s so many reasons to love 70s Strats! I understand why the Leo era ones are more sought after, but these are great too! You can get a cool vintage guitar for cheaper.

    3 bolt neck, bullet truss, staggered grey botton pickups and the big headstock. I love that combination. If you're lucky you find a light 3,6kg one, these are the best.

    I know Ritchie blackmore had a Sunburst 71 strat with a maple 4 bolt neck with a non-bullet headstock trussrod and skunk stripe. I believe it to be a special run or something. He then got a strat like this one in 1973 during the last months of Mk2 DP.

    I've got a seventy three,I don't use pedals. I play it through a 64Princeton,non reverb. I gotta tell ya, my guitar sounds alot more full and lush than the one you're playing. Don't those amps have three tens not four. I still have the original case and it's beat. I bought the guitar in'78 for $300.00 Thanks for sharing, stay safe God bless Rock on 🙏😷🎶❗👀

  • @craigusselman546
    @craigusselman546 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    That is so cool its pretty and how many Strats can say it has a three way switch and a bullet truss .Not all 70s strats suck I would be proud to own that CBS cutie.

  • @TheRockyhockey007

  • @glennevans5824
    @glennevans5824 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    That being ash wood is probably 8 to 9 lb range .However should sustain well.It sounds very good on video Mark does a fine job 90 pct of time making these instruments sound good.

    It may be Ritchie Blackmore's strat from the 70's (DP mark III, california jam).
    Edit - not a scalloped neck, so not Ritchie's. But very similar.

  • @ticma_

    Brings back memories. First Strat I ever got to play on was a mid 70's black beauty w/maple neck. It had too much brightness also, but in the right spots had plenty of 'quack' as well. Way to end the week. Rude Mood. Duuuude!

  • @anthonyc1883
    @anthonyc1883 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I loathed this era of Strats for so long but now I kinda like the looks. A Custom Shop version, with a tight neck pocket, lighter-weight body and better pickups would cure the ills of this era.

    • @michaelkarlsson5966
      @michaelkarlsson5966 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I can recommend "classic series 70s" and "vintera 70s" and "vintera II 70s" and even the "American Vintage II '73" since Custom shop is silly expensive. Those are great models, I think

  • @unhingedsoulcollector8501
    @unhingedsoulcollector8501 8 ปีที่แล้ว +11

If Mark here says that they would've been still staggered and became flat in '75! (Don't like the loud E on a 7,25" radius neck with flat poles..)

    Just curious - what do collectors do about those 3 bolt necks? I jammed on one and did a stupid-ass neck bend and the whole thing went way out of tune. Pulled it back up, and weirdly back in tune. Nobody keeps it as 3 bolts, do they? So unstable.
    Good for rhythm if you aren't bending I guess. I would have crazy glued the thing to stop it from doing that.
    I love old strats. I just can't figure out how to keep those ones in tune.
