Re: SDUG Ultimate Superstrat Finals POLL !!!!!!

I'd be thrilled to have any of the losers from the first two heats!

As I have always said - THERE ARE NO LOSERS! Every one of these guitars is so full of win it isn't funny. But to make it interesting, you have to choose. None of this medal for participating crap.

CHOOSE OR DIE!

CLose stuff - Cali is up but just by three, and there are still three days to go...

I voted REK. It's a bit ironic, when I think Super strat's I always think, Tremelo is a must. But that REK is one great build.

Yeah, my thoughts with this build was to get a superstrat with a twist.
My goal was playability, tone, sustain and looks in one package.
Playability: The neck is thin, not ibanez super thin. Well, almost but with a more rounded profile. Jumbo frets and easy access to the higher frets. Very easy to play and I use loooow strong action on this one.
For tone I was aiming for a singing, liquid-like, darker lead tone, more of a Les Paul kind of thing. thus the elmwood which these Polish guys recommended. Very mahogany like character. I still wanted some spank and bite so Maple and wenge in the neck.
Regarding sustain there was no doubt about neck thru and hardtail with strings thru body. I also had enough of tremolo equipped guitars already.

It turned out really nice. It plays like any shredguitar out there but with a tone that sings and sustains for days...
The only guitar I played with similar characteristics is Vandenberg Custom, which I have and it's also a favourite of mine...

That REK is schweet.

The others are worthy competitors, though.

WHAT

I can't believe my Hamer is doing so well. I mean, it's an awesome player but these guitars are like WHOA cool.

Re: SDUG Ultimate Superstrat Finals POLL !!!!!!

They are all Beautiful! I'm going with PFDarkside's Orange Clone! The color reminds me of a Kawasaki I was drooling over when I was on Mykonos a couple weeks back, plus it has a gorges neck and a Rose!

Visually,it's the Trans Black,but I'm not a S/S/H guy.

Functionally,teh Hamer.

Still torn...

Re: SDUG Ultimate Superstrat Finals POLL !!!!!!

I went with the orange one because I liked the figured neck and it was my favorite color out of all listed. I bet that weird one with the cutout under the fretboard would be the funnest to play around with though.
