Title: Sparkly NGD :)
Post by: blue on October 06, 2014, 11:25:59 AM: I saw this hanging on a wall a couple of weeks ago, and it seemed to stick in my head. So, on Saturday I went for a look and, out of the kindness of my heart, I've given it a new home :)

Post by: Andrew W on October 06, 2014, 02:01:12 PM: I like that very much. To make it perfect I feel there should be only one pickup though. A neck pickup in a hotrod Strat opens the user up to the temptation of playing ballads and that will never do. ;)

I've always loved Charvels and that one is a belter. Great score.

PS Nice bedspread.

Post by: blue on October 06, 2014, 04:33:03 PM: Thanks, I'm very happy with it :)

a friend got one in a lovely gold finish a couple of years ago, it was great. Every one I've seen since has been very dull, black or white or red. Saw this and could not resist! I'm glad it's a maple board, to me they should be maple.

I like sparkly things, and I like superstrats. You need one to balance your Les Pauls!

The Duncans aren't bad, I'll leave them in a while to see what I think. I'm sure the right set of Bareknuckles would make it even better

Post by: Philly Q on October 06, 2014, 09:15:51 PM: Ah, now I can see it! :smiley:

I certainly like the way it looks, I wouldn't mind a Tele in that colour!

I don't think I've ever owned a sparkly guitar, apart from a Squier Super-Sonic.
