You've all got nice guitars and you know it. Erik's Kline Baretta is epic and I can't deny it.

But my vote goes to PFDarkside's orange San Dimas clone built by Xsessive.
When I saw it first, my eyes popped out, my jaw dropped and I held my breath for a split second before I went through bits of not quite subtle vocabulary in murmur voice. This is it, superstrat distilled. Has everything it needs to have and nothing it doesn't. A proper Floyd, an iconic bridge humbucker, a beautiful neck, a familiar body shape and sharp looks to boot!
Straightforward. Simple. Stylish. SuperStrat.

Now please don't tell me it has a trem cavity backplate!

Re: SDUG Ultimate Axe Superstrat HEAT #1 Poll

Woohoo, lotsa Charvel love here, and with good reason.

I chose BloodRose's as it was the one I had singled out from the start but any one of those here are trully GAS-worthy axes!!!

It was a very difficult decision between TLDs Hamer and phreds black ash strat. I ended up voting for the Hamer.

Re: SDUG Ultimate Axe Superstrat HEAT #1 Poll

These guitars are all pretty nice, but I went with the Hamer Californian...now that's a player's guitar.

Re: SDUG Ultimate Axe Superstrat HEAT #1 Poll

I wanted to vote for the NY Kramer, and I like the Hamer a lot, but the blood red charvel from hell is too much win.

Re: SDUG Ultimate Axe Superstrat HEAT #1 Poll

WOW, what a hard choice! I narrowed it down to 1, 3, 4, 9, and 10. But I kept coming back to #9, the Orange Clone. So it got my vote. I just couldn't take my eyes off of it!

Re: SDUG Ultimate Axe Superstrat HEAT #1 Poll

I voted for Mike XSSIVE's Clone too, as I think he does impeccable work (and I'm a believer in top mounted Floyds ). Difficult choice though, the red Charvel, black Strat, Jackson, they're all sweet.
