good strats are quite pricey. so unless u've found the tone that u know for sure that u like, then maybe u should hold on abit.

my fren bought a replica model of an old strat. comes with all the scratches and marks too lolz

he bought it for about 3k aussie. the original one that his replica was supposed to imitate costs about 25k usd

haha expensive wei. dont tell me u buy 20k then tie to your car.

i rather frame it up n put it on the wall
