NGD - custom strat with bare knuckle crawler!

i was never one for a traditional guitar so i tend to go custom. this guitar is truly awesome. especially thanks to my luthier Trevor Healy in Easthampton Massachusetts. its definitely a tom delonge-esque strat, which i'm not a stranger to. but its definitely more than that.

specs * body- swamp ash natural (unsure if its an actual fender body or not) * hipshot 2 pt tremolo black * kluson vintage locking tuners black * bare knuckle crawler bridge pickup with the "no hole" option. its passive. not active. and it sounds nothing like an EMG trust me! * pickguard custom made from warmoth.com matte black, thin, no bevel. * push/pull pot for coil tapping * fender maple neck. unsure what model it came from. * graphtec nut.

thats about it i think. let me know what your thoughts are!

Nice vid and supercool strat, man. I can really hear the Crawler-character (deep, fat, growling) in this video, despite the typical Mesa-grind and -bottom end.

I am really loving this crawler for sure.  And this mesa of mine really can cover a lot of ground. Much more than just a brutal metal amp
