There's a guitar you don't see every day! I never got to play one, but a friend owned a couple, and rated them pretty highly.
Good luck finding replacement pickups!

Re: \'85 golden oldie: Fender Performer

So, not only did Fender invent the Strat shaped headstock...but they also invented the butt plug headstock that Charvel copied in the '90s. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

These actually remind me of the mid-80's Guild S-300's in their setup and looks.

I played a Guild SD-300 and that thing wails....definitely a nice guitar, and they're cheap on the used market.

Kinda cool Fender [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

Well, it's, uhh, "original".

Fender finally got shred right with the HM Strat, but before that, well....

Re: \'85 golden oldie: Fender Performer

Wow!

And I thought my strat elite was fender's biggest [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img] moment.

Very Original, headstock is the only thing that makes me go eh, hope the pickups sound OK, cause you ain't replacing them without a new custom Pickguard [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
