Now it’s all about the money. Has been for a long time wich is too bad since there really are legitimate caring people still left in the music biz. Not many left from the day, it’s all much like McDonalds now. Formula driven and sterile. No Funk no Soul, just the money and the size and, of course, the power.
As a veteran of Don Wehr’s Music City from 1964 tp 1979 I can respond authoritativley to the ” any strat” was $199 in the 70’s. They were not, in fact, all $199 that was the price for Sunbursy, RW fingerboard, less tremolo (now known as hard-tail) Strats. The Strats with tremolo sold for more and any color other than the contemporary sunburst was more yet. Add the trem unit and it was even more.
This was SEP at Don’s who was the pace setter of the day, month and for years back in the day. It was quite common to see a who’s who of Bay Area rock visiting, buying or just hangin out each and every day at DW’s. Those were the days when it was lots of fun and we were proud to represent the products we sold.
Enter the meat market distribution scheme of today and you have a train wreck.
