Here's a shot of my son playing my 71 lemon strata. It's dirty and dark lighting, but I think it's color is mostly intact.

Cool, but they look a bit dusty. Doesn't make you nervous having them getting

all dirty in the garaj? Just having my Tama Granstar Customs in my basement in their cases makes me kind of nutty, but my basement leaks in one corner during heavy rainfalls so I have a dehumidifier down there... :D

Click the 'fishwaltz' in my sig to see my set of Avocado Strata's. Bought them 2nd hand in 1971, sold 'em in '75 and tracked 'em down and got them back last August. They had lived in a bedroom from 75 to 78 then in a closet from then until August '09...

It's nice to know that the fellow at Ludwig knew what he was talking about. He callet it spot on.

True dat! Through most of my vintage questions, Ludwig has been really kind & helpful.

btw - I totally dig that Lemon kit! The bumble bees of the Strata gang Walking
