Mothers Milk set on the way
« on: March 18, 2007, 12:07:11 AM »
I just ordered my set of Mother's Milk pups, stock winding, vintage stagger.  This was supposed to happen a while ago, but I decided that I didn't really like my MIM Strat.  So I bought a Warmoth strat and assembled it.  Alder with maple neck and Brazillian rosewood fretboard.  Should be a great combination, eh? :D

Which neck shape did you get?  I just put a hardtail together with the SRV carve and it sounds great.  Did you use a regular strat bridge?  I am going to put a tele together soon, I am thinking of a thinline with a clapton carve neck but I don't know anyone who has tried that shape.

So many pickups, so little time

I used the standard thin neck contour.  Mostly, I liked the fretboard on this particular neck (from the showcase) and all the measurements were pretty standard.  Nut width is 1-11/16", 10-16" compound radius fretboard.  The neck shape itself is a bit thinner than my MIM Strat.  I usually like thicker necks, but this one feels really nice.  The bridge I used is a Wilkinson/Gotoh VSVG Vintage Tremolo.  So far it's been really nice for keeping everything in tune, even though I haven't played the guitar extensively yet.  I'll let you know when the pickups come.  
With this guitar, I just wanted to capture some vintage vibe while making use of some modern improvements.  (Naturally, it had to look good too.)

It also doesn't hurt that I play through a Deluxe Reverb amp.  :lol:
 :shock:
