Gochaz that is indeed hot, I'd love that with a bridge humbucker and maybe a maple fingerboard

Heres the strat I want for rock! Wouldnt be suitable for bluesy tones but I love the look of it with the zebra pickups and single volume knob!

Thanks very much! Yours aint too bad either..

I'm not really a fan of humbuckers, my Strat'd ideally have a mahogany body and a set mahogany neck, with a rosewood or ebony fingerboard, going for that Les Paul Junior type sound. However, god knows what the tremalo would do to the sound. I'm tempted to save up and try to pay someone to build it, actually.

If you're feeling creative, try some of the textures on this site for designing your dream guitar. (Use the DIY function and paste the texture)

I sure had alotta fun with it.

Ended up with a thinline Custom with relic'ed Gretsch finish  :lol: Didn't use the Filtertrons because I'd prefer BKP-91/90 in this one

This one is as close as I can get to the strat I'm putting together, but in reality she's got a carvin neck and she'll have white pickups, not cream. I think the colour might end up being a bit darker as well.

I love these things.


This one I decigned after listening to some iced earth, the basic concept is to be able to go from a heavy metal tone to an acousticy mellow one with the flick of a switch. Then I got a bit carried away and added some extra stuff.

The powerbridge switch is a three way toggle that either has the powerbridge on its own, the nailbomb (and associated electronics) on its own or both mixed in.

The sustainer (fernandes) is pretty self explanitory. As is the coil split switch.

The second tone pot has been swapped for an EMG afterburner that gives a variable amount of added gain. I also put in another EMG gain circuit - the PA2, just for fun.
