Wow, a great find. A lucky grandson.
Hey Gridlock, I gather you have access to a time machine since you have a 2918 Fender American Special Stratocaster! Very cool!Wow, a great find. A lucky grandson.
You're lucky... all I got was moths.What a great find! The only thing out of the ordinary in my Grandma's closet was moth balls....
Want to sell it?I went to my grandmother's closet, and found a 1970 Les Paul Custom! Maybe I missed the deadline for this section by a year, but I thought I would ask the question: What should I do to ensure the guitar is playing well for a long time? Also, does anything look non-original? The frets seems to be fairly high for this kind of guitar.
This wasn't a total surprise, as I knew there was an electric guitar in the closet, and that my Great Uncle played it in the 70s. I just put some new strings on it, and it sounds great! The serial number puts it at 70-72, and the pot shows x37704 which I think indicates that it's a 1970. I also saw the pickups show "PATENT NO 2,737,842".
