Re: SDUG Ultimate SUPERSTRAT preliminaries

An I am seriously procrastinating on this one....which isn't helping a bit. I may end up with two polls.

Yes, you are procrastinating. The poll was supposed to be up Sunday evening according to you....LOL.

Hi There,

I'll, too, join into this battle field

The first one is an Ibanez JS 1000 btb. I used to have it once, but unfortunately not anymore and i still miss her despite she has a floys rose trem.

Those ones are the ones that we have done before for a guy from Istanbul and another from Ankara; The first one has Birdseye Jem with Bareknuckle set on and Red Jem.

Guitars of the next shot were made, modified or painted by us for people (from left to right) custom made UV77BMC (multicoloured ibanez universe style guitar with vine inlays, gabon ebony fretboard), custom made "the panterocaster", some kindo tele project painted by us. Dont bother the Yamaha, it was just posing itself

Aceman, you going to print out most of the best ones and throw darts to choice the top ten?

Re: SDUG Ultimate SUPERSTRAT preliminaries

I was hoping a poll would be up before I head out on vacation but looks like I'll have to wait to vote after I get back, unless the poll is open later today.

Not an "entry" but thought I'd throw up a photo or two of the Ibanez Gunslinger 550 Mutt I had built for my son...

1991 Ibanez RG550R Neck cut down to 22 Frets, 1991 B.C. Rich Gunslinger/Assassin Body, 1987 Ibanez Edge/Smooth Tuners/Retainer/Nut in Rare "White Gold", DiMarzio Virtual Vintage '54 Neck/PAF Pro Bridge

Re: SDUG Ultimate SUPERSTRAT preliminaries

Gah, why won't the insanity stop!!!

The world has enough 22-freted axes.
For the love off all that is sacred, STOP CUTTING DOWN PERFECTLY GOOD 24-FRETTED NECKS TO 22!!!!

Cool... but why?

Re: SDUG Ultimate SUPERSTRAT preliminaries

Cool... but why?

Body was designed for 22 Frets and has a neck p/u...wouldn't have worked w/24.

Re: SDUG Ultimate SUPERSTRAT preliminaries

I can't even try to pick one.

I could only narrow it down to 20....

Re: SDUG Ultimate SUPERSTRAT preliminaries

Then perhaps keep the 20 and split them in two polls, maybe as semifinals, then make another "tie-braker" poll for the winner

Re: SDUG Ultimate SUPERSTRAT preliminaries

Posted 2 a while back if I got a shot use this one.
1995 Washburn USA Chicago Custom MG 120 Artist. One of Grover Jacksons creations Honduras mahogany body, Quilt Drop Top, maple neck, rosewood super flat "20" board, jumbos, Wilky 100, Goto lockers, all metal covers with brass inserts and machine screws pickups direct mounted same set up. CTS pots SSL-1's neck and middle Custom Custom bridge. Incredibly well built guitars that sound and play great as well. This particular one is a stunner to look at.
With the old factory PG in the bridge.

As it is now with the Zebra CC.

My submission:

Tom Anderson Drop Top.
Basswood Back, Maple top, Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard, stainless steel frets....OFR.

Finish is called 'Nearly Natural Arctic Blue'...it is hard to photograph. Gives an amazing 3D look to the top. The blues and the golden color of the maple are great together and are, similar to a flip flop paintjob, if you move an inch the top changes. It is very cool.

Here is a good shot of the 'new' Anderson Wedge neck joint. These necks are more stable than any 4 bolt I have ever tried.

How perfecly fitting:

What does the 18 V mod do (sonically)?
Did you notice a big difference with the brass block (been meaning to get that one done myself)?
