I bought that <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/stratocaster" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>stratocaster</span></a> factory-fresh in '78 because I had no hope of affording a 'real' not-cbs Vintage strat. </p><p>But now, just because of my age, my baby qualifies for vintage repairs! Just carving a new bone nut is $100! Then it must be installed.</p><p>And then the backlog. Six weeks?! I told <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/12thfret" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>12thfret</span></a> it is their fault for not abducting young people and forcing them into a life of luthierism!</p>
