My old Strat featured in Vintage Guitar magazine

[JMPRO]

The April issue has an article on my Strat prototype called "Pieces of a prototype". Any one see the story yet? What do you think? I haven't recieved my copy yet so I don't know what spin they put on it. I've waited so long for my 15 minuets I just had to brag a little.

I thought it was a very cool article!

Is that the one with the 3-spring trem that has lost its original neck?

I liked it!

I did see it, very unusual with the small trem spring rout and the slide switch cutout. Great story and guitar.

I have heard that there are other early Strats with the narrow 3 spring trem route but no one has a picture of one or can point to one for real. If there is one it would have to be another prototype as there is no production guitars with that feature.

I saw it and thought of you, but couldn't recall your username to bring it to your attention here.
