I think I'll wait for the Warmoth kit.

It looks like Uli Jon Roth's guitar got run over and he tried to glue it back together! hahaha

I can't imagine that the middle and neck are that usable? They are a long way from the strings.

Well you would think that. I have been doing some testing on a swimming pool route strat and off cuts of fretboard. If you use a bridge pickup in the neck and make the fretboard around 5mm it actually sounds fine.

Hmm, I see you've found a possible solution for your neck pu dilemma, having an overwound pu makes sense, or even one with stronger magnets (e.g. A8).

I like the neck joint - nicely sculpted.

Its a shame it has to be a compromise between access and pickup. A truly capable version of something like this would have both but unfortunately i don't think it can be done with stock sized pickups.

Who plays higher than the 24th fret with out a slide ? waste of frets.

Pedro vallejo, Helge Engelke, Uli john roth and Francesco Artusato.

They make other nice guitars. http://www.stratmann-gitarren.de/index.php?option=com_phocagallery&view=category&id=6&Itemid=67&lang=de

Re: Stratmann original

How are you/will you be mounting the neck and middle pickups, through the back or the side?

Very interesting

Frets are for wimps.

Re: Stratmann original

Yep, Stratman is my log on name...

They are lucky, that they did not try to steal it!

Re: Stratmann original

Here's an unconventional idea that may work. What if you add a seventh string at the 12th fret like the bass string of most banjos and incorporate the tuner into the bridge.
