Lots Of Strats (and stuff)

[PhilKing]

Nice strats - that Bravewood relic looks ace!

John made a great job of it.  It is really light, and the neck is a copy of my 57 strat with a couple of mm's width added at the nut.  I also love the way he has the wear pattern on the fingerboard.  It has a Slowhand in the bridge and AV Apaches in the middle and neck.  They work really well as a combination.  The Fiesta Red HSS strat is also a Bravewood, it has a lot of original parts (including the scratchplate - I have had it years).   It has a Rebel Yell/ Mother's Milk set in it.

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?

I think it is a little mellower than maple, but still having the attack.  GwEm would tell you best, he was playing it a lot!

I think I'd agree with that, but its hard to say - the swamp ash body is pretty nice too, with a balanced tone. I'd have thought the middle and neck pickups of the 69 set might have quite brutal attack in the wrong guitar - in fact the sound was good and full.

Great collection there Phil.

I've been into shops with less stock than that!!!

Thanks for the kind words everyone - I know I have severe GAS, but I have come to live with it through the years  :D

I want to actually get everything out one day, but I would need to rent a truck and a hall to put it all in!
