Hello There,


This is my new LTD ST-213. It is slightly modified. Normally SSS but now as you see HSS.


Hope you like;

Nice guitar!

But how do you post a NGD on a pickup forum and not mention what pickups? ;)
 
Re: NGD: My New Ash Strat (LTD inside)

love the tortoise guard, look awesome! I find that these LTD strat types provide great value for the money, what's with the numbers below the 22nd fret though?

Love Natural Ash!!!

Congrats! I love those LTD Strats.
looks good man!

Thank you so much guys. :)


That's beautiful!
What's the zebra in the bridge?

Nice guitar!

My bad :) It's pearly gates neck version. Other pickups are stock singles of LTD. They are true singles and not bad but i'll swap them sometime. Moreover it has weird reading i see on my multimeter. PG reads around 7K (6,86K) which can be considered normal, middle reads 5,90K and neck reads only 3,90K. I've just changed the battery of multimeter and reading are same. Neck pickup sounds very clear yet thin on the other hand.

I've bought it for $250 (without pearly gates and pickguard) and for that price thats the best strat around in Turkiye :)


Looks great! Ash strats a great... when they're not heavy.

Indeed. I hate heavy ash but as long as its lightweight thats my favourite body wood.

Looks slick. Is the replacement guard specific to LTD or is it a Fender replacement? I've always wondered how closely they would match up.

Dont normally like strats as they normally come, but id buy that one. Very nice

I love that natural look.

Thank you so much guys :)

Well, the guy i've bought from was a luthier so slight modification wasnt an issue. I sent humbucker and pickguard, requested to replace it for me. So i'm not perfectly sure but as far as i know tortoise guard was not suitable for direct replacement. The guard was, you know, i'd bought on ebay for $7 but looks amazing.

Nice! I'm not normally a fan of tortoise, but that looks great with the natural ash!

Was the body routed HSS? My 203 was SSS from the factory.
 
Re: NGD: My New Ash Strat (LTD inside)

The colors match beautifully. The zebra is artfully placed to look like sss but its really a humbucker. The whole scheme looks great. Kudos! very tastfully done. Does it sound great. Post a clip - you tube
