WTB: Ritchie Blackmore strat (Sorted thanks)

flumpet

Anyone got a Fender Ritchie Blackmore strat they are considering selling?

I'm over in Wales so it would probably need posting.

cheers

Not easy to find them cheap..............you looking Mexico or Japan ? I have a Jap 1997 and they are superb...will be buried with me. Mexcican ones come up pretty regular. If you find a set neck one on during your hunt let me know as been lusting for one of those for years......last 2 up for sale were way over my pocket

Worth looking out on ebay for deals on loaded body and a neck & put it together. Usually turns out cheaper than buying one ready to go.

Ha, I was just going to write to you for advice Barry, I remembered you had one.

MIJ would be awesome but more likely to find an MIM I expect. I have an Yngwie sig, only seems right to get a Blackmore to go with it I thought

Thanks for the info

ha....like your style...why have one when you can have two guitars....you do know the scalloping on the YJM & Blackmore are fairly different in profile & shaping ?

BTW, just picked up last week a BSM RPA Major....sounds huge with the SD 1/4 pounders on the Blackmore. Expensive toy but I really like it altho not much time to play with toys lately. If I see any guitars around I'll drop you a link

Yeah I've been curious about the different style of scalloping. Congrats on the major, I've got a kemper now so shouldn't be hard to find some Blackmore tones. Thanks again for your help.
