Strat players, your turn

[FretFire]

Alright, we've recently had a tele thread and now an LP thread. Now it's time for the strat (both "normal" and super, why not). Get after it!

EDIT: I forgot a description! Alder Fender body, birdseye maple neck from USA Customs finished w/ satin nitro from Reranch. Abalone dots, Sperzel tuners, Callaham trem block, matching trem plate on the back from Warmoth, master volume/master tone/blend control setup. Pickups are in my sig.

The first is my 80's Squire 57 RI, the second is a parts-o-caster. A friend did the sunburst w/ nitro from ReRanch, and I went to town on it with a dremel and a set of small hand chisels.

Re: Strat players, your turn

lol...i sold all my regular MIM strats and replaced them with the pewter strat and the twistedcaster first. then i got a new body and new neck (still in the mail) for my black tele (was midnight wine/mirror) then got the white strat from TC...then i got the gold esquire...then the red esquire....then the maiden strat...and etc etc. i have love for all strats and teles now. i was pissed with my strats and went through 6 duncans in they yellow one to find the sound i wanted and 3 duncans in the pewter one. then i stuck dimarzios in both of them and found strat heaven for me!! so now i have a new love for strats again!

Re: Strat players, your turn

My one and only real strat.

The supa dupa strat.

Re: Strat players, your turn

The bastard-child that is my Strat. It used to be a MIM 2001 Standard, but I got bored with it. The stock bridge pickup is in the neck with an alnico 2 mag sitting under it. The bridge pickup is an old PATB-1. Two volume knobs, master tone, selector switch and a split for the bridge. Someday I'll do something better with it.

Re: Strat players, your turn

I had a Washburn N4 once. I was stupid for selling that guitar.

I've had so many guitars it's not even funny. 36 or 38 last count.

sweet guitar tito

Re: Strat players, your turn

You're the guy! I've seen pics of this guitar at one time or another and loved it

 

[XSSIVE]

Re: Strat players, your turn

Thanks William but i can't take much credit for it...TC designed it and i got it from him, i just changed up a few small things and added my own custom headstock logo to it. i may change the pickups in the future...i like the ones in it now but i'm still not 100% sure yet.
