How's this for a superstrat!

This is my GMW Charvel Bullseye replica with a BK Miracleman pickup. It was painted by Lee Garver of the Jackson custom shop. A serious piece of kit and it's mint! Could be for sale too if anyone can give it a nice new home.

By "local shop" do you mean "Northern Ireland", and by "don't stock them yet" do you mean "plan to"?

I'd like to get to try some of those, just for the experience as TO/Ben would say, if nothing else.

By local I mean Lisburn, the shop music matters moved into a larger store last week and has a couple of the Lag Jets in stock, and for sub 250 quid theyre great.

I'm hoping they get in one of the Roxanes as well as the metal models as they look real nice (though the master builts come in at 1700 quid)

If you can do without the whammy bar :roll:  this is a great guitar. Made in Japan, excellent guality. Mahogany body with a maple top. I've got two of them. Throw on a set of Sperzel tuners and BKP's and you're good to go. :twisted:

My theory on the Super Strat matter is that you should buy a regular strat and MAKE it super...Mine's going Sperzels, Graphtech (nut and ferraglide saddles), Callaham Tremblock, and the obligatory BKs - Nailbomb/Mothers Milk Set :D

Even suped up Fenders can make killer super strats!


Thats why they're called Super Strats ;)

I've got a Fender USA Deluxe Ash Bad Boy Blue LTD Edition Strat
(haha right mouth full that one eh?)
and it's loaded with LSR nut, Locking Tuners, Tremsetter, BKP's and it absolutly kills any "super strat" i've ever played, and i've played a lot.

Ostensibly, that would seem to be true, tho most branded 'super strats' have wider nuts, flatter radius finger boards, etc. The 'strat' part in super strat simply refers to the general body shape, as in Strat vs. Les Paul.

My suped up Strat, while it sounds great, doesn't hold a candle, neck-wise, to my other guitars.

I have to say i much prefer the neck of anything fender (both my strat and my tele) to these new "super strat" style necks...I played (possibly Tim's) ibanez at LGS, while trying out his screamer and i thought it was horrible - the frets were too big and the fretboard too flat, but maybe given more time i would like something like that...i don't know and don't care atm :P

Me too, I just cant play them, too wide and horrible compared to a regular strat neck.

I do like the fact that the neck on the tele is slightly wider when i play some finger picking stuff - easier to get the fingers around quickly than on the strat as the strings are slightly further apart...but apart from that, my strat is king

The opposite could be said, too. Different strokes for different folks.
