Okey dokey, here goes:
2007 Epiphone Les Paul Custom. Made in China. Bought from GAK. Very very nice guitar. You can see it on YouTube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waepWA5rGFs
http://markwills.co.uk/strat/g1.jpgKorean Les Paul Special Edition. Made in 1996. Completely awesome guitar. Comes with Dimarzio pickups and coil tap on the back pickup (lift the back tone control knob). Bloody excellent guitar. Tone to the bone.
http://markwills.co.uk/strat/g2.jpgChinese Squier plank. Completely crap. I have a guitar synth system, so I plan to fit the synth pickup to this. Otherwise, it’s firewood.
http://markwills.co.uk/strat/g3.jpgMexican Fender Strat 50’s re-issue. Gorgeous tone. Nicely set up. Nice think neck. Really like this one!
http://markwills.co.uk/strat/g4.jpgRockson Strat. Possibly the best guitar I have ever played. For tone, think Mark Knoper on his Pensa Surh. Just unbelievably incredible. Perfectly set up. Sex with frets.
http://markwills.co.uk/strat/g5.jpgA closer shot of the rockson. The pic doesn’t really do justice to the finish. It’s nicely polished and rather scrummy.
http://markwills.co.uk/strat/g6.jpgUSA Fender Strat 1957-2007 Special Limited Edition. They only made these guitars throughout 2007. Blonde ‘see through’ paint job, thin 50’s profile neck (thinner than the Mexican) and gorgeous tone. Very well built. Gold Hardware. Cost a frigging fortune! 3 Way pickup selector fitted, but comes with a 5 way if you want to de-solder the three way… I’ve left it totally original, in fact, in lives in the case!

http://markwills.co.uk/strat/g8.jpgHope you like ’em 🙂 The green Les Paul is a pretty special guitar. Really like it. Gonna get a Tele next 🙂

MarkWillsParticipantHere’s some pics of the axe in question! Delightful old thing… Worth bugger all I’m sure, but worth lots to me!

http://markwills.co.uk/strat/strat4.jpgMarkWillsParticipantHi!
Thanks for the reply!
Well, your post led me on a bit search, nay, mission to find out when my old strat was built. Turns out, it was built in the Samick factory, in 1989. Serial is S999152.
It’s a lovely old thing, and just coming up to 20 years old!
In DESPERATE need of a re-fret or stoning tho, so if you know anyone reputable…
I’ll see if I can post any piccies of the old thing…
BTW: There’s a great write up on them here:

Thanks again,
Mark
