    That's actually really good condition for a guitar of that age, it just needs cleaned...

    If the original owner had maintained it better, it would look less rough, but besides a reconditioned neck and some corrosion removal, that's in amazing shape.
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.

    damn that's in good shape and so beautiful fairly cheap as well for a 59. The 54's are around 17 thou. Go up 5 years and their 5 grand cheaper. The prices of vintage instruments are insane.

    At this point a cunnetto era custom shop version is just fine with me.

    If I were mike I'd buy another one in fact I'd probably buy every 59 strat I could get my hands on.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    I'd sell my car for that. If I had a car.

    he probably has a massive collection that none of us know about. we only see the touring instruments. mike needs to do an "M&G Cribs" for us.

    What a beautiful guitar. We could all pitch in and share it LOL.
    I was told that Mike has an amazing collection of guitars. I know he has an SRV owned strat. Billy Corgin and Chris Robinson also have huge collections.

    LOLOL, he claims he doesn't puff anymore. Seriously, he has an amazing collection. It used to be on the net, I saw parts on an E special a couple years ago.

    I don't know what the big deal is!
    I mean, it's old, and it's scratched.
    You can get a brand new one for $800.00
    And the case is scratched up, too!

    :D

    Every year there are more and more vintage guitar & bass pickups that become destroyed. Several years ago a young player was given a 58 Stratocaster from his father. He came me and wanted to put humbuckers in it. I told him it was a bad mistake and try to get another inexpensive guitar to modify. He said he would look into it. Several months went by and I saw him at a local club. To my amazement he had chisled the body out with a screwdriver and hammer (beyond the pickguard) and put in three humbuckers! I couldn't believe it and he said "nobody wanted to do it", so he did it himself! If you want to change your pickups, please buy a new pickguard and keep the original in a safe place. You may decide to go back to it someday. And if you decide to sell it, keeping the original parts will make the buyer quite happy, and bring you top dollar.
