Lucky to own a 1973 Fender Telecaster Deluxe that I bought from a band member when I was a roadie in 1975. Early 1970's Gibson Blue Ridge Custom acoustic that I bought new and is in like new condition, and a recent purchase of a 2008 Gold Top Gibson Les Paul Std, love my guitars! Great website Xhefri's.

I enjoy reading your insightful pieces and clearly recognize your expertise without being pompous. I appreciate your willingness to respond to questions from non-professionals. That being said, I have a growing collection of Strats from 1987-1989, which includes both American Standards and Strat Pluses. I'm thinking about pursuing a Strat in capri orange. The price tag is somewhat steep and I was hoping you could tell me something about the history and duration of this particular color. Is it worth the effort?
Thanks Xhefri for your time.

Admin reply: Hey there, Thanks for your kind words about this simple little back yard website. One thing I always detested in the music industry is arrogance. I mean, a guitar is a hunk of wood with some metal wires strapped to it which can make interesting sounds. But there are a lot more important things in life! And then when I played in bands some guy who could sing well, beat the drums like crazy or do a fast guitar solo thought he was a demigod of sorts. Nuts, eh?
Take care and have a Great New Year!
