I spent a lot more than I was planning on when I bought the 716, but every time I pick it up it feels like it was worth it. The bigger body adds more low end and volume than is typical for Taylors, but keeps the easy playing feel. Unfortunately they seem to have discontinued the model, which was a Lutz spruce top and rosewood sides/back.

Today, it is my 1982 Fender 'The Strat', which is the first real guitar I got at about 12 or 13. I used this exclusively until I was almost 30. Still stock, too.

Brand new Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional HSS 10th Anniversary. I love this guitar. It's classic and traditional like I like, but with a lot of modern improvements.

These twos


Left 1986 MIJ Fujigen '72 reissue limited, FS1 bridge + 2 SSL1 (My very first guitar, I bought it in' 88)

Right partscaster with Franchin (Italian luthier) body, old warmoth neck, SSL5 bridge + 2 SSL1

 

[playas]

Nice!

Are you happy with that Franchin body?

I came close to pulling the trigger on a Franchin body myself a few years back but ended up getting an unfinished body from the UK instead.

 

[ehdwuld]

Ok is there a difference between the Italian strat copy body
and the UK strat copy body

Aren't they both copies of the Fender/Squire bodies?

Smae neck pockets ?
Same upper horn?
Same tummy cut?

Same random pickup routes?

Back to the stalwart:

 

[Mincer]

Today, it was the guitar in my avatar.



The bridge pickup is a double screw 59/Custom Hybrid with a rough cast magnet.

 

[Securb]

Got the black Iceman on the sofa with me right now.

 

[ehdwuld]

Headless Salen shaped Censtar

It is so nice

The purple Grote semi hollow got some love to

 

[marcello252]

Nice!

I was so satisfied with this strat body I bought another one tele shaped, they resonate a lot, have nitro finish , a slight relic and good weight, measures are standard

I don't know about the UK body, the italian bodies I have are pretty standard with vintage specs, the only thing that could be less common on the strat body is the edge profile radius, it's not 1/2, it's something less rounder, anyway very close indeed, Iread that some vintage fender body had this less rounded radius, maybe they took this kind for the CNC input

Yep.
Price and finish would be the primary ones.
The forearm and tummy cuts are also almost certainly different also.

Cool, thanks.
I'll take a note of that.

Finally got the Bluesbucker / Super D in the Bonamassa. It sounds great, but I'm now thinking I should have gone for the nickel covered bridge.
