thats very interesting martin. wonder if he'd do a mahogany one...

(i need to try hard and resist such thoughts...)

[martinw]

I'm sure he would.  :)

excellent stuff Martin - does the hardtail string through the body or rest on top?

Through body, like a Tele.

Hi Martin,


Congrats on your new guitar. It looks a nice one.  Enjoy :shock:

Hi,

Maybe I missed this (apologies if so) but who did who buy the body from?
I also love strats but I don't really use the trem and more importantly I love to leave the low E-string ringing and then bend a note on the treble strings...which drives me potty on a floating trem guitar ;)
I have tried hardtail gibbos, but nothing cuts through and has that touch of twang as a Fender, I've also tried the trem block route, but I can't help think what I need is a string-through hardtail...

Best regards,
Gareth

tried searching ebay for red american alder bodies with no luck.. don't suppose you happen to recall the guys name?

Nice guitar. How is the tone/vibe of the wood? I think hardtail strats ring more than trem-strats.

He's a seller called 1jonone.
He hasn't always got anything ready made, but if you message him, he'll make what you want.
