Re: Your Favorite Guitar. (Pic Thread)
She's beaten, she's bruised, but man, she SINGS! I changed the routing to fit standard single coils, modded my single coils to fit the screws for it to fit properly. I've done my own wiring on her (including blend control, master tone control etc.), put on the arm sock and trem and I'm probably the only person in the world that digs it, and I love that
She has a mahogany body with very straight, beautiful grain. The maple neck has such a nice smooth finish to it and the action is nice and fast and low. I'm not afraid to get rough with her and I'm realizing now that strats are where it's at for me (nothing else touches me quite like a good one). She doesn't need any fancy finishes. No bursts, no solid coverings, just beautiful inner grain beauty
She is my favorite, by far. Other guitars I'm sure will come and go, but with the work I've done on this guitar, it has meaning. Besides, it's an early G&L Skyhawk, it's an early Leo Fender redesigned strat with a top mounted input jack (WAY better than the "football" ones on regular strats). It oozes mojo and not even the Grosh can touch it there
