ORIGINAL: Escribano Vintage Fenders and Gibson's are very over-priced in the UK and the best known are not very good guitars, especially those from the 70s. Though clueless in regard of gear and electronics, this is my impression too in respect of construction and prices. What I came across, specially from Fender, used to be incredibly heavy and chunky old duds. (Responsive like a piece of stone.) Albeit, saying so on another forum, I received comments from others who confirmed that such duds used to be made, however, that elegant, light and highly resonant specimens used to be built as well. - Personally, I had my lucky strike in a second-hand store once, with a strat from Yamaha. Slim, light and vibrating from top to bottom. The gear works well, and I was missing nothing tone wise with its pickups. Although, no doubt that geeks would be knowing how to improve it with better electronics. Ruphus
