Topic: Gold Strat Question

Re: Gold Strat Question

I think I read somewhere they're original '62's but I've also heard that they might be Joe Barden's...

Hope this helps

Re: Gold Strat Question

i read an interview saying that he had the pickups rewound by lindy fralin.  but i dont know what the original pickups are.  possibly original 62's rewound by fralin?  ive got a 62 reissue strat but its loaded with texas specials.  the reason i ask is i want my next strat to have more of a goldie kind of tone as opposed to a stevie ray tone.  any and all comments welcome.

Re: Gold Strat Question

I know I have the original artical somewhere...but I thought Joe's dad got that guitar as a trade in
but it was just the neck and pickguard assembly...thought it was a 65

think the Body is a Fender Custom Shop body, Joe tried putting the neck on that body
and it turned out  to be a tone monster, and he did have Lindy Fralin rewind the original
pickups at one point.
