I painted this for my little brother for Christmas two years ago: Since he got transferred to Hawaii (poor @^$@#! :laugh2:) he's letting me babysit it until he gets squared away and finds out exactly where he's going to be staying when he's not on his ship. I decided to throw a few new pics...

Well, it's been almost a year since I picked this guitar up, and I've finally got it done. For those who don't remember, I picked this up at a flea market for $25 because some poor soul didn't know how to put it back together. Well, since I'm not a fan of black guitars with rosewood...

It's finally about to get warm enough to start spraying my strat when I get home from work. Unfortunately I got to thinking the other day.:smack: I'm going to fill up the trem cavity and make it a hardtail. Anyone ever done something along those lines before? I'm wondering if there would...

Is one person allowed to have multiple "new gear" threads on the same page? LOL. I found these beauties in a pawn shop on Wednesday, but I waited until this weekend so I could go back with cash in hand to get a better deal. Took all three home for $200. Original asking price was about $145...

Well, it's been a couple of months since I got this, but I finally got the pics uploaded. :smack: Picked this up at a flea market. The body neck and pickguard were being held together by about three screws total, and the rest of the parts were in a coffee can. Picked up the whole shooting...

Well, it's about freakin' time I got around to writing a review of the compressor pedal I won from Butch's giveaway. It's a Danelectro Surf N Turf Compressor. I've messed around with other Dan-o pedals before (though not this one) and my opinion has always been that they're great budget...

Our church is looking to get some hands-free wireless mics now (we had one, but it's about to die), as well as some hand held mics in the future. I know Shure is pretty much the industry standard, but I wanted to see if anyone else knew of some that were better. Also, anyone that has...

I'm leaning towards an Alder body (theodie has me thinking about purpleheart or ash, though) rear routed with a single hum and dive-only Floyd, maple neck/fingerboard (reverse strat headstock) 25.5" scale. It'll probably be a pretty flat radius. Of course, I'll have to build/order all of this...

I got this in the fall of last year, but I've been lazy about getting pics. I've used it a few times through the Sans Amp into a PA. It's got some pretty cool tones - models like Bassmans (Bassmen? :laugh2) and Ampegs as well as a full range of user choices. I don't have much experience with...

Since it's Halloween, I thought it would be an appropriate time for everyone to post pictures of their Frankenstrats. Other ghoulish or scary guitars welcome. I'll start it off with a pic of my brother's EVH-style Frankenstrat and my Peavey Predator.

At first glance I could have sworn this was one of those Chinese auctions. It's in Ohio, though. It's almost worth the money just to find out what a "tremble" control does. :laugh2:

I've been GASing for a true strat for several months now, and it finally reached the breaking point. Picked up this baby on Evil-Bay. It's a 97 (if I'm reading the S/N correctly :smack:) Jimmie Vaughan strat. The guy I bought it from had installed the pearloid guard and aged/cream...

Alright. I've got a strat, CC (4-conductor) in the bridge, old Peavey bridge single coil in the neck, room for one switch and three pots. I had it wired just like a three-single, 5-way strat with the bridge/middle position as the full humbucker. I don't know how I did it, whether I figured it...

To throw another monkey wrench in the EVH gear list: I'm sure I must have seen this picture before, but it was either too small to make out or I didn't pay close enough attention. It's hard to see here, but it's clear as day on the magazine cover. That headstock says Gibson. So the...

I don't think I've ever had tele GAS quite this bad. I wouldn't want the relic job done on it (let's not get into that, please!), but otherwise....*drool* Link I'm a glutton for punishment, so post all your tele insanity pictures here. :D
