So +1 on playing it! Even now if you go to GC, WWBW or SamAsh or where ever play 15 LPs and one will sound good enough keep. Strats seem, for many reasons, to be more consistent. And there are an infinite number of arguments as to why... |
thats the least of it, besides the odds of a LP from the 70's not being refretted by now are slim if it's been played. If you look at a 70's era LP and compare just stuff like the carving of the top, the general workmanship it's pretty apparent why they're not that good
