I've got a mania to the point of pitching a fever to find a MIM Strat for like $300 - $400 on Craigs

[smurfco]

list.

I already have a Strat. But I want to find a nice MIM one in the $300 - $400 range to knock around with. This is stupid!

 

[smurfco]

Here's one for $500, maybe he take $400? https://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/msg/d/new-york-fender-stratocaster-electric/7379561148.html
Midnight Wine isn't the greatest color, but https://newyork.craigslist.org/que/msg/d/brooklyn-fender-stratocaster-midnight/7389878198.html
This one looks prety good https://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/msg/d/brooklyn-fender-stratocaster-guitar-th/7388700773.html
Says he is in Manhattan bu I asked for address and he is in upstate NY wtf https://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/msg/d/new-york-fender-stratocaster-electric/7389646490.html

Here's a glimpse into your future:

Buy cheap strat off CL
Spend a couple hundo on upgrades
Tire of cheap strat and sell on CL

Just toss 75 bucks out the window and call it a day

Not going to fill the hole in your heart.

I love my MiM Tele. I threw in Bulldog Icemans as a pickup upgrade and it's been my go to ever since.

 

[MonkeyZero]

Midnight Wine is a gorgeous color. You fool!

 

[tiger roach]

Nah. You have so many nice guitars, why bother?

Unless you feel a Pete Townshend phase coming on and need one to smash...

 

[mongooz]

why does it have to come from CL??

Check out the used stuff adorama.com. They had a used Player Series in LPB for $469ish last week. It might still be there.

 

[Motorik]

Are the first and second ones both midnight wine?

 

[rhino]

I have a suggestion. Open and drink a bottle of wine at midnight tonight and see if it is still a good idea.












It will be

I got my used MIM Strat with Tex Mex pickups and CTS for $450 Canookian a handful of years back at a music store.

Those look good almost too good… i want a beat up one from like 1993 or 2004 or something like that

 

[Pine Apple Slim]

I had a good 99’-00’. Blonde ash, rosewood board. Cost $300 in a local shop sometime around 2006.
Never modded it.
Sold it circa 2013 for like $350.
I’m just not a strat guy.
Good luck in your search.

 

[DFB]

I was just kicking around selling this one, my first ever electric. 2006 MIM 60th Anniversary. But I live way away from you. And not sure I really want to sell it, even though I seem to never play it. Has the Tex-mex Pickups in it that it came with, and seemed/seems generally nicer than the run-of-the-mill MIM available at the time (or now).

 

[sunvalleylaw]

I have the original white pickguard too.
