Pictures (Guitars)

peterg has a strat that sounds like a tele (very good looking build, by the way), I have a tele that sounds like a Les Paul It's not quite finished (waiting on the pickguard) but it's close Thinline tele build with an unknown body from Reverb and a "trickedoutguitar" maple neck (LOVE their necks!). Pickups are a Gibson 498T in the bridge (don't judge me) and a Mexican Fender tele pickup in the neck. Features a coil tap on the bridge and a killswitch, because why not? I'll post more pictures when I get the pickguard in and have it officially put together

My newly refinished Squier Strat. Over the last 15 years I've owned it we changed a lot - kinman and dimarzio pickups, grover tuners, jumbo frets, 12" fret radius, scalloped fingarboard and now refinished in sonic blue (used to be ugly metallic purple).

Excellent paint job there Brani. Like it a lot!

[bancika]

thanks. I can't take credit for the paint job, I just took the disassembled body to a local car paint shop, gave them the original Cadillac Sonic Blue paint code and they did the rest. I just aged the covers and knobs, goes better with blue than plain white.

Beautiful color for the strat.
A shredder in disguise.

[bancika]

Indeed. It used to be a not-so-good guitar with crappy pickups, useless tremolo, slightly twisted neck. Now it's very comfortable to play and sounds great.

Cheers

Got bored a while back and decided to take an old strat copy i had and Frankenstein it into something strange. Shaved down the cutaways and did some routing, painted it seafoam green, wired up a few switches and pots and added 2 fender custom shop 65 jaguar pickups and it sounds great. Only wish i knew what i was doing when i did it since the wiring was poor (right before i learned to solder properly) and the paint didn't come out very well. Might revisit it and redo the horrendous wiring and add better tuners, then maybe i might have something great ill actually use.

Fog, the picture makes it look like a miniature guitar   

[HeavyFog]

Ya its quite the small guitar. almost like a miniature jaguar. Light and surprisingly comfortable to play!

I was thinking about getting rid of this guy for a bit, but my better judgement won out and I remembered it's my favorite strat I've ever played. Warmoth solid swamp ash body (superheavy!) with an AllParts 1-piece maple neck (also somewhat heavy) and a Fender high-mass bridge (also heavy). Loaded up with GFS Li'l Killer rail humbuckers, and the result is a Strat very much resembling the feel and sound of a Les Paul Though I did coil tap each pickup separately, so I can run all humbuckers, all single coils, or any combination of the two. Behind my Les Paul this is my 2nd favorite guitar right now





Seriously, this neck is like playing melted butter.

[deadastronaut]

looks great...

ive installed 2 of those humbuckers on my crapocaster...sounds nice.

Treated myself to this just before Crimbo:  (not my photos)




Still trying to work out a tuning that suits me.  The body is engraved bronze-coated brass, btw.  Weighs a bloody tonne for an acoustic instrument!

Still trying to work out a tuning that suits me...

I think you'll stick to it literally ... if you just let it outside for a couple of hours

[stallik]

Really nice Marc. Tried a six stringer recently, decided I'd never be able to play it coz it's too damn loud! Nice though

[bancika]

Finished after over 2 years of work and stalling. Very happy with results.
