Do you notice any change in tone or playability due to the Graph Tech saddles?

On my Robert Cray Strat they seemed to make string bending easier, perhaps because the strings aren't "stuck" on the saddles.

Looks good, and I bet it plays sweet too. +1 on more pix request

The dunlop fret numbers aren't the most intuitive are they?

How do you like the 6150 frets? I've got them on a neck on its way to me.

Full frontal? Good grief, I assume you mean the guitar. Hmm well it is getting dark when I get home from work  but I will see what I can do (I think flash is over rated and sucks tone).
The frets are not dissimilar to what was there. Jonathan thought that the guitar may have been re fretted. I don't   recall that ( don't laugh, I wasn't always the calm rational articulate person I am now) though I bought the guitar off a friend who'd bought her about 6 to 8 months before-brand new I have always assumed but thinking about is, I can't say for sure.He'd changed the machine heads and it could have been that he changed them but unless someone here knows a good medium, I can't ask him.  The guitar feels "tighter" in a good way. The strings are even and bends are more controllable ( Johnny Marr wouldn't approve of that ). I'm getting used to the more material at the bridge.Tuning is better ( and it was always good on tuning). I can't say there is a lot of difference in tone but maybe some of you guys with more sensitive ears would notice if I'd have done a before and after test. She is a sheer joy to play though. 1970's Strats get slagged off and indeed mine has original finish issues that I have come to love but she is a resonant great sounding plank. Thanks to Jonathan she will continue to be No 1 for the gigs I have in my diary and hopefully many beyond.

Lovely looking piece of frets/fretboard :D

I've had the "Mrs 38th" conversation as well (not with her obviously :lol:), after a visit to Jonathan, and with much the same outcome. One of the reasons I haven't started investigating "custom" yet, is that I don't know what guitar it would be, it would have to be specially "me", not just a high quality guitar... and I'm not at all sure what that is...

Sounds like your Strat had some good treatment Steve. They play and feel great after some work at Feline. Those custom  guitars, once you have played one the must have one of those feelings will grow and grow and you will succumb to their temptress curves!

I didn't see the attached pic at first, and I thought "yeah, but, it's not that easy..."

Then when I saw the pic - yes!! (I think the size of guitar and body might be more up gwem's street though :lol:)
