Not linked to Tom's guitar, but found a nice close-up from John's guitar from back in the day !

Damn... seems like everyone was into Olympic white strats, Dunlop .60 picks and playing good music back then ?

I'm a little surprised everyone used American Standard Strats back then as opposed to the Mexican made Strats. Also we should seriously consider moving everything that is not about Tom's Strat into separate threads (Les Paul stuff, the Homegrown guitars)

Mexican strats suck!

I think all Strats are great. I was simply observing that for smaller bands its interesting to see American Strats being used more commonly at the time. I also think it shows everyone worked their asses off to get good gear.

I don't know ... I've played some pretty awful strats.

Since it has become apparent to me almost all of the photos in this thread are invisible due to dead links;  If anyone is in need of said photos for any reason, I can send them to you as I saved them throughout our postings. Also we need to move everything that is not Sticker Strat related into new or existing threads.

Ain't nobody got time for that!

Newer years (as of 2014) aren't terrible. It's the hardware that's crummy in them (esp the bridges). Throw a Callahan bridge in one (and some locking tuners) and they're just fine.

Hey I found that large Descendents sticker he has on the back on eBay. I just bought one for my TD strat.

big brother is Impact. mint is linotype's cut of bauhaus (**NOT** bauhaus 93, the microsoft cut).

i can't remember what i used for Short Lived but it's a pretty generic body serif. any sort of garamond / baskerville / times roman should be fine.

Nice. How does the invader sound in the Les Paul? And has it been confirmed that Tom ever had an invader in his les Paul?

[spkeezy]

I made those 3 using free fonts. I can share the .psd files if anyone wants them

[spkeezy]

Also, anyone have a good pic of the back of the guitar?

[Q182]

So it turns out the Russian Etsy seller updated his sticker set:

 

The inaccuracies are still insanely noticeable. The one that gets me the most is the subtitle on the Short Lived sticker says ‘TOUR OF DUTY ‘97”, not ‘92.

@Q182

Wow, people are definitely getting ripped off with that price?

[Q182]

While going through @veeRob's image folders, I pulled out a couple references in regards to the debated third arnette logo on the back of the headstock. I can confirm with these photos that this one is the inverted black and white color scheme than the ones on the front of the guitar:

Bear Mountain

Warped Tour

I also found a reference on the mysterious backup guitar laying in a case next to Tom's amp. This suggests that the backup Strat is also a Fender judging by the shape of the case:

My suggestion for this is American Fenders produced in the 90's were found in a case similar to that one.

[Thibaut182]

Not necessarily linked to Tom's guitar, but found something quite cool !

That logo is very familiar, it was quite popular haha

I just finished my TD sticker Strat and it won’t let me upload the photos because they are too big. Any way around this ?
