Good instruments, just over-priced. yeah if i was gonna spend that much money on a strat i'd just get a warmoth/allparts/whatever neck and body and piece together everything else

This is what this thread was made for, god this is ugly as gently caress. Even better, I want to see this model after just a month or so of actual stage use.

I've never actually seen an amp as kooky as any of the guitars linked so far. Except the loving Fucker which is made with as many weird tubes as possible just for the sake of "what would happen if I replaced every discrete component with a tube" and it costs about $6000 and is custom made for every order

I think that the Les Paul Studios with the cheap finishes are still decent value for money. I got one in Silverburst for £500 which I use tuned down to B with .13s on and it does sound really good and play really well, regardless of the hate against them. If you go anything above that you're getting ripped off though. Standards, Customs and Specials - none of them are worth the money.

wde what do you use to wind your pickups

Declan MacManus posted:wde what do you use to wind your pickups 42 AWG Enameled copper wire for most pickups, 43 AWG if I want hot pickups. For the bobbins you are pretty much stuck with buying plastic ones cheap as you can online if you want something that's going to look vaguely normal. I've used chrome curtain rails for pickups before now (had to wrap the wire around the magnet Danelectro style) and they sounded awesome. Magnets in the right size can be kind of tricky to find unless you want to spend waaaaaaaay too much buying them from Stewart MacDonald, I usually end up using AlNiCo rods and cutting them into individual pole pieces. Kind of a pain but 'guitar' magnets are hideously over-priced. Saying that you can literally use any magnet you want, I've used hard drive platters and fridge magnets before now, the HD one made a strat pickup sound like a P90, the fridge magnet was hilariously wimpy.

do you use a specialized machine or do you use a sewing machine for the actual winding

I guess it's.... Kind of specialised? I was going to get a proper winding machine but it wouldn't be worth the money as it won't really make winding any faster.

It's like, guy in a motorcycle shop had a piece of scrap aluminum that was vaguely guitar neck length and got high and went too far with a bad idea. "..And the body of the guitar will be a windshield off a Sportster!"

Haha, I totally forgot about that pick-guard on the left. I took it off a cheap-rear end guitar earlier that day, the guy said he cut the humbucker slot with a soldering iron, he had a Seymor Duncan pickup in it that was probably worth more than the guitar.

Now, I will play the most tepid, soulless garbage rock while my 15 year old son plays mediocre rhythm guitar to accompany a sweaty pedophile holding an Ovation electric acoustic while belting out some horseshit about being saved. Here we go... ONE! TWO! THREE!..."
