Build one! I've often thought about building a birth year (59) style Strat with some tweaks. 3 tone opaque sunburst with tight burst edges (not a clownburst), earlier 59 maple neck but not as thin as they purportedly were. But my 2 tone burst which is my favorite guitar pretty much checks all of those boxes save the 3 tsb. Maybe someday I'll have someone refin the body. It already has a custom neck plate with my birthday in 6 digit format.

If Leo was around in my birth year a Strat would be a million!
Maybe save your money, sell your house?

Wait a sec... I'm 1961, as well. Let's not start a bidding war. |

Teeth are so overrated.

Think of it as an investment. 😉

Yeah. I kinda agree. It's only one tooth, after all. I'll still have 31.... which could mean a lot more guitars in the coming years. |

As long and your smile doesn’t look like a picket fence, you’re golden.

Looks great. It reminds me of a blonde Protone that I almost bought many moons ago and regret that I didn't.

I’ve acquired several birth year (1957) gems over the past twenty-five years; a Tele and four tweed amps. If I were liquidating gear they would be the last to go.

I'd have to settle for a Nocaster.
