Is this a good playing guitar? What would be a fair price range? btw...My (3) single-coil BL550 Blazer is a great player! tnx, mk Snowjays Username: Snowjays Registered: 09-2004 Posted on Friday, November 17, 2006 - 8:25 pm:    Beats the hell out of a blazer. The big difference with the 2375 is that it only has a 3 way switch instead of a 5 way. But it's not hard to alter if you want. Neck is very round and plays like a 60's strat. Sound is also very much like that bit of Strat Quack that you'd expect, but the pups are a bit noisey. Price over here for a good one $500 - $600Aud.

With a 5-way switch, it's positions 2 & 4. "Beats the hell out of a Blazer". Those are bold words! My Blazer is pretty damn good. I just cannot image the 2375 betting way better. Maybe I'm wrong??? Anyone else care to chime in? tnx, mk Michaelkaufman Username: Michaelkaufman Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Friday, November 17, 2006 - 9:21 pm:    Here's the potential 2375: mk Michaelkaufman Username: Michaelkaufman Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Friday, November 17, 2006 - 9:24 pm:    Does the bridge look funny? Is it padded with foam? mk Snowjays Username: Snowjays Registered: 09-2004 Posted on Friday, November 17, 2006 - 9:34 pm:    Bridge looks different to mine(different saddle mounts), and you will need to change to a 5way switch, unless it has already been done. The only alteration on mine is the tuners and the switch, and it feels like the real deal.

Somehow the spring tension just holds it half-way between the two legitimate positions. Originally, all Strats had 3-pos switches, until someone found that you could get two extrra positions and so Fender accommodated the discovery with a 5-pos switch. Sound like I actually know something, don't I? h Brentm Username: Brentm Registered: 03-2005 Posted on Saturday, November 18, 2006 - 3:37 pm:    I paid 275 for my 2375.... The fingerboard is completely flat, which was weird at first (for me). I have a spare bridge from a Silver Series if you're interested. I don't think the bridges changed much between the models. I'd probably pay up to 350 for one, in good shape (like yours appears to be). Michaelkaufman Username: Michaelkaufman Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Sunday, November 19, 2006 - 12:37 pm:    I passed. It went for $386 plus shipping. I was hoping it would go unnoticed. I was wrong. Better luck next time. mk
