There's another shop, a bigger one, that stocks them as well. I will go out tomorrow and see if I can find one
The one in the photo above is an older model .The newer ones have a headstock and body shape like this.

That reminds me of this.

That reminds me of this:

This is Duane Trower's "Yugo" guitar. He's in my favorite band, Season to Risk.

It's a Fender Strat, a pick guard-less one Fender made in 80s to cash in on the hair metal shredder market. He chopped up himself.

Actually DUblin sucks, Ireland is great, but Dublin sucks. I hate living here. I only live here because the money is outrageously high. Cork, is a great place. Visit Cork, or Galway, or Kerry.

That pink 3/4 strat is the one I want, it's only $50 but when I went to order it last week I was told I MUST buy a case when ordering a guitar to be sent overseas, plus the shipping was $78. Overall it came to almost $200 for guitar, case and shipping so it's a no go for now.

My long term plan is to get one of these SX 24" strats, make some templates and build my dream 70's big headstock oly white strat. Love the look of those things.

As an aside there was a great thread by someone who got a white SX strat and did some upgrades to the trem block and stuff and I cannnot seem to locate it - anyone remember what it was called?

Thanks for that, I found this: http://www.waltons.ie/Product/View.aspx?id=10579 listed on their site, I've emailed them asking for the scale length as this model doesn't appear to be on the Rondo Music site. I only want a 24" scale.

Because one looks shit and one doesn't. Therefore there exists a choice. I choose 'not-shit' because Shit = Shit and not-shit = good. Stephen Hawkings gave these equations and you don't wanna piss off that motherfucker or he'll throw some moves on you.

I'll see your Hawkings and raise you an Einstein. Consider these headstocks sockless. Image

the old headstocks looked worse. at least the new ones are kind of trying to do their own thing. the old ones were just frustratingly close to a real fender headstock. the new ones have uh... character. :)

I like my headstocks as close to a fender as possible. Fenders' headstock is how all headstocks should look. All headstocks.
