Sadly I've gone backwards in my skillz. Heck, I don't even plug it in anymore as you can tell from the new picture. BTW ... I still have the same guitar cord too. It's blue, but it has a yellowish tint to it now from age and smoky bars. Edited October 13, 2021 by Shane_B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byron Dickens Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 It's awesome that you still have the same guitar 45 years later. I'm not sure how I feel knowing that I have a couple of vintage pieces of gear that I bought brand new .... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, you've got me beat by 9 years. 2021-1986=35. I find it hard to go quickly count the years going from the 19's to the 20's. I do the same exact thing all the time. It's a MIJ Fender Stratocaster made in 1984 according to the serial on the neck. My EMG's I put in it in the late 80's are starting to sound odd. I was reading that the ones I have are the ones David Gilmour designed his 'signature emg series' off of. I guess I was ahead of my time eh? They sound glassy/harsh/sharp/digital almost. I'm hoping it's just the old caps on the pots, otherwise I'll have to replace them. ☹ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm embarrassed to say how much. In the last 3 years I lost it all and I'm actually thinner now than I was in the picture from 86. I've lost another 15 lb's since I took the current picture. I lost so much weight I had to have corrective surgery to repair the damage I had done. But I'm all good now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
