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.

Re: SDUG Ultimate SUPERSTRAT preliminaries

My first electric guitar:

A 1987 Ibanez RG570 in Sunset Red with Maple fretboard! I've never seen another one like it (and I've been looking ever since I, like so many others, foolishly let it go in my youthful inexperience)!

Its there a category for worst super strat? I give you the "Cruise" plywood strat copy, my first guitar. These guitars have mysterious origins, I'm sure it would be hard to find another one. I just fixed mine up with a duncan detonator and it is totally passable.

Harmon central reviews are pretty hilarious. My favorite line:
"I have attempted to find info on this guitar, and despite the fact that it says "Created for VAI" or something on it, I think it was "Created for Michael Knight" (... a man who does not exist, kids) by "Cruise" (... a company that doesn't exist). I am beginning to think the guitar may actually be a fig-newton of my imagination"

Nope. I've seen a couple where the poster says they don't have it anymore and wish they kept it. I've got another Kramer (Focus 2000) and my Frankenstrat but out of the 3, my NYC Baretta is the best contender.

Why?

That wasn't a requirement of the original post at all! Quit making new rules ;)

Besides, just because I no longer own it, I DID, and not owning it doesn't make it any less awesome!

Guitars you currently own are the only ones allowed, and that was established in the very beginning.
 
Re: SDUG Ultimate SUPERSTRAT preliminaries

Yup. If you don't own it and you didn't sell it to another forum member then it can hardly be the 'ultimate guitar of the SDUGF' now, can it?
