Lots Of Strats (and stuff)
« on: August 03, 2010, 01:12:54 PM »
I had Denim & Leather round a couple of weeks ago with his amps, so I got a few guitars out.  Then Gwem was around this Sunday and I got a lot more stuff out.

This is what the wife walked into on Sunday night!



moving round a bit



Gwem hiding behind cases



some Strats



my Bravewood 56 and a relic I am working on



My Overtone Special and bass rig



It's a bit tidier now!
So many pickups, so little time

My wife feels your wife's pain :lol:

Although mine would say "at least she's got some decent space in the first place!!" (having met gwem, he'd make our living space look a LOT smaller) ... but she'd possibly be missing the point that we could fill/destroy any (reasonable) size space with guitars and guitar related krud just as easily :lol:

EDIT: Like the pink case!

Nice strats - that Bravewood relic looks ace!
I think I hate being indecisive.

The PhilKing relic (distressed black with exotic wood neck) might not look as convincing as the Bravewoods, but it has great tone with Tim's 69 Custom set. The bridge is wound quite hot, with no baseplate, and it as a very earthy tone, a touch dark.. well tasty anyway.

The white 50s strat behind the chess set is one of my favourite guitars, though to be honest Phil has a mean collection of strats.

It's for the shell pink hardtail strat leaning on the couch (it has a wenge neck with a bloodwood fingerboard)

It's a 61 strat with a slab rosewood board.  The one between the amps is a burgandy mist 63.  The exotic neck on the black one is a Warmoth one piece Aframosa.

So many strats. and hooray for ART gear. I have a prochannel and it's a great clean preamp/ mic recording pre. so much stuff packed into 2U.

That one piece neck looks awesome. how does it sound?
