NCD!
« on: February 28, 2010, 11:50:24 PM »
Nope, not a new cab. This is strictly a "New" cr@p day. Coming home from work, I found a reasonably sound, seemingly fully functional Encore Strat copy lying in an alley, missing it's strings, and looking a little lovelorn. On closer inspection at home, it has a reasonably true neck, and the body seems to be solid wood of some kind, The pickups are, obviously, utter dreck, and most of the hardware leaves much to be desired. But it has me thinking. Is this a project in waiting, or just some kindling and paperweights?

Many years ago I set up an Encore Strat copy for one of my brother's school friends.  You expect these things to be utter shite, but it really wasn't bad at all.  Makes you wonder sometimes if all those expensive guitars are really worth the extra moolah.

Like Philly, I worked on one for a neighbour's son.The trem was awful but I blocked it off, set it up and it was fine.
