Clone #013 AKA an EJ strat body meets my router!!

Re: Clone #013 AKA an EJ strat body meets my router!!

Mike....just let me know when you're ready to expand out of NY. After I get my other business sorted out I'll need something else to do. I can be your southern or mid-western rep/distributor.
 
Re: Clone #013 AKA an EJ strat body meets my router!!

Mike...you know what would be really cool on your website? When you click on a guitar to see the additional pics, it would be cool to see all the specs for the guitar listed out, and who you built it for...last names witheld for privacy of course. I just like to look at those pics knowing the details. Just a suggestion bro.
 
Re: Clone #013 AKA an EJ strat body meets my router!!

Mike, that is the best one yet. That is absolutely mind blowing.
 
Re: Clone #013 AKA an EJ strat body meets my router!!

Wow. Best yet.

Re: Clone #013 AKA an EJ strat body meets my router!!

yup...that definitely is my fave so far bro!!!

what's the neck you're gonna put on it like...is it birdseye, flame etc?!
 
Re: Clone #013 AKA an EJ strat body meets my router!!

Man! Every one of the guitars you make are killer, I still remember when you posted the first one! I still want it!

I have a quick question if you don't mind. Say you were to sell these, how much (approximatly) would thye run for? Could you give a range?
 
Re: Clone #013 AKA an EJ strat body meets my router!!

The EJ Strats are the lightest strats I've ever played.......
 
Re: Clone #013 AKA an EJ strat body meets my router!!

Another home run, Mike. Looks great. That neck looks great on there, too. You'll never miss the 22nd fret, right? ;)

I'm a little worried, though... sunburst, wood grain, neck pickup... what's next, a middle pickup and a tone control? :D
 
Re: Clone #013 AKA an EJ strat body meets my router!!

Mike that is very cool !!!!!!!!!!! very Pre Pro looking with the 21 frets, and as we both know their is nothing wrong with that. nice work as always. I guess i woun't feel so bad when i take the router to my other Suhr and put in a bridge humbucker now. later scott
 
Re: Clone #013 AKA an EJ strat body meets my router!!

wowza...

it turned out GREAT!!!!
i got a thing in the works, that will make you sick!! :D
 
Re: Clone #013 AKA an EJ strat body meets my router!!

Usually I think decals look pretty tacky, but that is definitely a STUNNER!

Lovely, lovely axe. Just brilliant.
 
Re: Clone #013 AKA an EJ strat body meets my router!!

That's the best "vintage meets modern" guitar I have seen so far.

Very nice looking Mike and I bet she is very nice to play as well!
 
Re: Clone #013 AKA an EJ strat body meets my router!!

Ez....thanks man!

Rid...thank you.

Jeff...i should add a quick list below each Clone as to the specs then everyone would realize no two are alike.

SpeedDemon...it's my favorite too, thus why i save it for lucky 13 haha.

hot _grits...thanks! funny you mention that because that charvel is known as the "dean markley" charvel to most of the charvel guys since it was used in a famous dean markley strings ad. yes mine is fairly similar for sure. i always liked Bill's charvel.

Hoss...the 22 fret neck is a monster flame neck with the same shape as this 21 fret but just an extra fret and modern schaller locking tuners instead of the vintage dimarzio tuners i have on the 21 fret neck.

Kamanda...thanks for the kind words! prices vary per guitar when a person places a custom order as for my personal ones PM and we can talk since those will vary also due to specs and such.

jmh151...the EJs aren't the lightest i've played but they are certainly down there in weight that's why i decided i would use this body since it was a 2pc light weight body and up to my normal standards.

Erik...yeah yeah yeah ya showoff LOL.

Mike...NO MIDDLE PICKUPS!! a tone knob isn't 100% evil but those damn middle pickups...yuk LOL.

shred-dog...ROUTE IT hehehe! thanks man!

Davey...thanks bro, can't wait to see what you have cookin'.

Rainmaker...thank you! yeah Marilyn seemed to fit the vibe well so i went with it and am very happy with the added touch!

fingerace...thanks! that's the best part it plays AMAZING also!

Re: Clone #013 AKA an EJ strat body meets my router!!

great strat!!!! Love the bridge.... were are the saddles from?
 
Re: Clone #013 AKA an EJ strat body meets my router!!

the whole trem is solid brass, the saddles, plate and block. it's from the 80s and i'm not sure on the brand, it may be stars.

Re: Clone #013 AKA an EJ strat body meets my router!!

I played it on Saturday and it not only looks good but it plays real well too. The pickup combination works ti=ogether nicely!
 
Re: Clone #013 AKA an EJ strat body meets my router!!

yup, Dave gets to play all my guitars!

Jeff i'll add specs to each of the clone pages when i get some free time. for now if there are any you want to know about just let me know.

-Mike
 
Re: Clone #013 AKA an EJ strat body meets my router!!

man it was great taking a router to that body lol. i figured some purists would get pissy about it and that made it even more fun hahaha. i even wrote "Mike was here" in the routed out cavity LOL.

-Mike

I'm sure this crossed your mind, but it's funny that the sacriledgious routing happened on UNLUCKY #13. :fingersx:
 
Re: Clone #013 AKA an EJ strat body meets my router!!

i actually saved this build for lucky 13. not due to the routing but i just wanted this one to have that number.
