    WHERE DID YOU SEE IT?I thought I saw 1 at hampshire music,
    was it a strat copy w/locking tremolo?
657.2SUBURB::DALLISONHot or what????Mon Jun 06 1988 10:2614
        
    I just bought it.  Its a strat shape body with a (don't know the
    proper term for it) angled, pointed head.  It does have a tremolo
    on it.   Its quite nice to play and the only I got complaint about
    it is that when I play at the first 5 or 6 frets the guitar kicks a 
    slight buzz (just loud enough to be annoying).  The action at the 
    moment is fine for me but I've been informed If I wanna solve it
    (which I do) I've either gotta find the duff fret/s and file it/them 
    down or raise the action. 
    
    Which should I do??

    If you are worried about filing the fret properly,
    I'd suggest taking it to a guitar repairman.  A job
    like that should be fairly inexpensive.
