SDUG ULTIMATE AXE - Category 2; Fender Strats

[Aceman]

Next up - Fender Strats. This is any and all configs of Stratocaster with the word Fender on the headstock. MIK, MIM, MIA, or three singles to double humbuckers. And if you WON a Strat category last year - you are banned from this season's competition.

IMPORTANT: Please be sure to place standard pic types here. Weird attachments cause trouble when putting the poll together.

Let's see all that Stratty goodness!

I have the baddest Fender Stratocaster.

But it doesnt look like much.

62 Vintage White...1 of the first 3 Heavy Relics ever made. My Homie bought it right off the table at NAMM show...and I kept the special badges.
So dry and dense i hardly need an amp. Its good and loud with out the amp.

I took off the stock mint green pickguard and put on a burnt orange colored one that was sprinkled with 24K gold dust and embedded in the clear.
Nothing outrageous...except the tone...and special rarity and back story.

I also wont be entering this contest since i cant get any photos soon enough.

Good Luck to all.

Da 1975 Cheese Machine. She's real, fresh new frets and has all that great '70s Fender features removed! Seymour Surfer loaded!

OOPS! Actually missed the "Fender" and "only one pic" parts. I just get excited when I get the chance to unleash the Jesuscaster, lol. No, it's not a Fender so I have removed the post. I'll post it again in the appropriate thread. Sorry Aceman!

I don't always play a Fender. But when I do, I prefer this one. (Note Gilmour approved shortened wiggle stick and Duncan HB)

Andrew - that is some kind of 60's sexy! That's EXACTLY the thing that inspired my Les Paul Studio.

Is teh "Jesuscaster" a Fender?

To some degree I suppose. I always enjoy seeing the Jesuscaster. That said, I believe it violates the spirit of the competition.

Re: SDUG ULTIMATE AXE - Category 2; Fender Strats

when do pics need to be in by? It's all overcast today and rainy today so I sure as hell am not gonna be able to get a pretty picture of my '62RI strat.

Re: SDUG ULTIMATE AXE - Category 2; Fender Strats

Thanks Bob....

I tried to delete 2 of the pictures per the 1 pic limit but now they are "attached photos" whatever that means.

Overcast is actually great lighting for a guitar photo.

Mine is boring, sunburst + maple, white on white.

But it has something yours doesn't!

Greg Koch's signature, and the admonition "Feast!"

When I met Greg we talked for a while and when I told him my name was Hunter, he got fired up and was like "GO FORTH AND FEAST ON GAME, MIGHTY HUNTER!"

At the end of the night, he signed a headshot and my Strat. Good times, what a guy.

edit: the signature is long gone, it rubbed away less than a week later, but I don't care, my memory of hanging with Greg Koch is way cooler than his signature.

Overcast is actually great lighting for a guitar photo.

The thing that's good is diffused light.

That's why photographers use light boxes made of silk or point the flash at the ceiling so the light is reflected off the white paint, not coming directly from the flash.

Diffused light, people. The more of it, the better, too.
