Hi Mike: Are the output jack plates different looking between 65 and 66?
Didn't examine them that closely, but I don't think so.Hi Mike: Are the output jack plates different looking between 65 and 66?
No, this is it for vintage Strats.Also, do you have other strats in between 55 and 60? Just curious what year the headstock shape changed.
They all have their own "thing." As you might expect, the maple neck is a bit snappier than a rosewood board. Hard to explain the nuances in sound.Very cool! Thanks for posting. How do they sound through that black panel Vibrolux? Any significant differences in tone among them?
Vintage Strats is what I am asking about. Somewhere in between the 55 and 60 Strats you posted there must be a headstock shape change. The 55 and 60 you posted are very different.No, this is it for vintage Strats.
That is a couple of really nice Strats. I know when the headstock changed in the 60's, but I was curious when it changed in the 50's. I thought I would save some time by asking in this thread, but I am assuming nobody knew so I went online and figured it out.Pretty sure headstock changed in "66, here are my reissues '65 and '67.. nice guitars guys.

Please fill us in, the only info could find is the string tree changed and the headstock thickness is different. As for the big headstock reissues , some say they aren't the same as the originals.That is a couple of really nice Strats.

I started to describe the differences, but it is kind of hard to put into words. Just stare at the shapes, sizes and contours all the way around the 55 that mikeslub posted and compare them to the 60 and 65.Please fill us in, the only info could find is the string tree changed and the headstock thickness is different.
