Thanks for the excellent info, I may just try it myself if I come across the right candidate. My very first guitar was a Strat style that I didn't know how to tune properly, or even had an amp for (I some how was able to plug it in to our stereo). I bought it for $10 at a flea market, had no idea how to play it, and ended up selling it shortly thereafter for $25. I wonder sometimes what the guitar actually was, and if I'd held onto it and got it sorted out, if it might have actually been a decent player.
