Yes this is just a copy of what I posted on HC but I thought not everyone here looks over there so here it is for you to see!

Took ages to finally get a neck I'm happy with for it but its finally done, thanks to Ben (TO)! I'm loving the sound of singlecoils at the minute, these are a set of BG Pickups vintage 60s which sound really good, I got them from http://www.norcalguitars.com (note to mods, if you want me to take down this link due to advertising other brands then let me know and I'll remove it..)
quick clip of the guitar with some rather cr@p playing http://www.megaupload.com/?d=475SIJ59
I dont know what else to say other than I'm really pleased and strats rawk :)
edit - there is actually 1 minor issue, the g string pings when played open, is this a setup issue, or do I need to add another string tree?
-
You bar-steward. I want a strat now. Just no need now I have a tele.
Anyone want to give a good enough reason why I need both a Strat AND a Tele?
-
Teles look cool, thats reason enough :P
I think that tele bridge pickups are meant to have more punch and power, but I've never really compared the two. I still want a tele as well :roll:
-
My tele bridge pickup is really thin, all the meat is in the neck single coil. And it is hella meaty. Gar I want a hardtail strat.

Hardtail strats all the way!!! woooo
Floyds :shock:

Nice one, Tom. :D I like the black parts on the white scratchplate too, that's what I have on my Strats.
Where's the neck from, a Mex Fender or an old US one? And are those Sperzels on there?
Anyone want to give a good enough reason why I need both a Strat AND a Tele?
Reasons? Who needs reasons? But they do sound completely different. I normally prefer Teles, but I'm really into my Robert Cray Strat at the moment.

Unfortunately being a poor student without a band and many guitars already justifying another guitar to my otherwise lovely but electric guitar hating girlfriend is very difficult. Meh, I'll wait.

Woo it's finally finished! lol looks good, was unsure about the rosewood board but it looks fine!

Its off a MIM roland-ready I believe. Feels great, I much prefer this flatter radius to the old '57 style :D They are just the stock fender tuners I think.

Sorry that you didn't like the 57 neck, but glad that Ben's neck suited you.

No worries, I know its not your fault or anything, just me being picky and finding vintage radius too hard to play :lol: :oops:
