Anyone have one of the new 50s replica Mexican Strats - the fiesta red looks very tasty? Comments appreciated.

Hi Neil,

Yes I've got one and the colour isn't bad, not as pink as the
Japanese Marvin, but less red than the Japanese '57 re-issue
I've got!

It sounds like it should!

Regards

Amanda

Neil,
I have a couple and they're very well made and priced instruments.
The Fiesta Red colour is the closest I have seen to my original '62.
And it sounds good too!
Cheers,
JB

MY finacial advisor said "Yes"! Guitar arrived today and looks very nice indeed - a nice shade of red! Action seems ok for the moment but had to adjust the tremolo by screwing the spings in a few turns and bend the arm down as it was far to high to hold comfortably in the hand. (THis is where the Burns scored points) Got it for £379.00. and next day delivery £15.00. :D

Neil,
Very good decisions by both individuals concerned!
I'm sure you'll really enjoy this instrument.
