Hi, great site, please keep it going.
I have a never seen one like it, 2002 USA Deluxe, special edition. Metalic grey sparkle body with stainless steel pickguard. 3 chrome lipstick pick ups and a C-shaped maple neck with a fabulous ebony fingerboard. Fantastic action and a joy to play and look at. A real eye catcher. I have traced its history back to 2004 when it was sold by East Coast Music Mal in Kings Lynn, England to the guy I bought it from, but so far unable to find where this Strat lived for its first 2 years. Started life in Corona USA in 2002 Serial No DZ2038531. Fasinated to find out who commissioned this rare Strat to be made. Any help much appreciated.
Thanks
Chris.

I am really enjoying your web site, mostly because I too am a guitar nut, but I don't have or never have had, or probably never will have the extensive collection that you have. The Fender Stratocaster is my favorite also. My two favorites at the moment, are a couple of 1996 50th ann. Lonestar Strats, a Teal Green Metallic, and a shoreline gold, and both with very nice rosewood boards. I also have a 2003 MIM '69 Tele thinline RI, that I absolutely love. What I don't have yet is an Ultra, and I want one bad!! There is one on Ebay right now, a beautiful Blue Burst, but the pickups are changed, and he wants too much. But I'll keep looking, I'm sure I'll find the one I want at the price I want eventually. BTW, if you happen to have an Ultra in Blue Burst, shoot me a price, maybe we can do a little business. Thank you very, very much for this site though Xhefri, it has a wealth of information for Stratophiles such as myself. "Rock on Bro" Christopher M.

Hello Xhefri, excellent webpage, great guitars. I am a luthier, and I am trying to find all the info I can get on the Gibson ES-140. I played one years ago and fell in love with it, and I am now looking to make something similar. Unfortunately, I am unable to find plans for sale, so I am going to have to pattern it out of photographs, but that really doesn´t worry me too much because I am not looking to make an exact copy. However, I´d like to know in your opinion how similar (or not) you think the basic body shape is to that of the Les Paul, (given that I have plans for this guitar) and also if you could please send me to my e-mail address that great picture you´ve got under your "Gibson" section which shows both the Es-140 and the Les Paul full front, one next to the other. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated, and thanks very much in advance!
