That's awesome when one can get a guitar that they have favored for years on in. I had favored a friend of mine's guitar for a long time as well, before I finally got my hands on it. Even trade for a Mexican strat is fair in my book, I think in my own opinion though that the Mexi-strat is trash anyway. You might find 1-2 out of 30-40 that sound ok, but most always need upgrading in my book.

Yes, it is very cool finally aquiring THE guitar I foamed at the mouth over in 1991 when I was a young, dumb, 20 year old that couldnt rub 2 pennies together. When it was sold, I had NO idea where it went, until a chance twist of fate intervened in 2006 and I saw a guy playing it at a festival. One year later I was in a band with him, and I couldnt keep him off my AMerican Strat Deluxes, so I bought a Cherry Sunburst Mexican Strat, threw in some Vintage Noiseless P'ups, leveled and dressed the frets ... handrolled the edges, and put in a pushbutton that when you engaged it, it added the bridge pickup to any other pickup combination you had on the 5 way. It was a great player, really, with great tone ... and a nice piece of wood for a Mexi-Strat ... I just HAD to have this Jackson. He offered the swap, and I obliged and went that night and picked up my Jackson and took it home.
The bad news, it has a couple bangs where the previous owner let the case deteriorate to the point of the guitar falling out of the bottom of it from the hinges being busted. A so called luthier put a wrong neck screw, in the wrong hole and pushed up one of the frets, thankfully not hurting the ebony around it. I was able to fix this myself. The binding on the fretboard was coming loose in a few places, also fixed by myself.... And lastly it has the dredded stress crack coming out of the neck pocket, that is one of the LONGEST ones I have ever seen. I have talked to a couple well respected luthiers about it after them looking at the guitar, and they all agree that it is totally stable.
The MAIN thing is, the guitar is HOME!!!!!!!
