A step back in time

[Veenture]

Danny,
Ya' see what ya' started!?!?
Or maybe it's just me doing it, but I WANDER how many other members here on the Forum,
are now looking for their old PIX of their early Bands that they were in...(LOL!)........

Here’s my pix for the 'forum family'


…back again in Holland where I met my drummer-friend and colleague after the family had lived in South Africa for 18 years…


about 5 years ago formed this band (now disbanded). Recognise me and the same drummer friend?

I'm liking the sonic blue strat. You still got that?

Yep, still have her. It's a reissue: "Classic 50s Series" made in Mexico. Actually the finish is Daphne Blue and the pups are rather standard but suitable enough for the stuff I play.
My new AVRI '57 Strat on the other hand definitely nails 'that early Fender sound' I so love and expect to come from an authentic vintage Strat. This AVRI '57 is equipped with unique '57/'62 pickups -reverse engineered from a coveted '63 vintage Strat. Mine’s a two colour Sunburst... too expensive of course but what the heck...

Danny and others should hang on to their Vintage Strats!

Truly outstanding photos and massively cool of you folks to share the memories.

Some fine, fine times were had, this picker is wagering....

Must have missed this thread.

Here's a shot of one of the bands I played with in 1962/64? That's a 62' Strat. We had a pretty big sound with the tenor and baritone sax. Shot at Talent Records, Hollywood, CA
