Killbot posted:I got this thing. For some reason the latest version (signature on headstock, I think also new pickups) is pretty hard to find. It looks, plays, and sounds terrific. drat that is a lovely axe. Got something new today, been waiting for it to arrive for the past couple of weeks. 2007 Classic 60s Series MIM strat, scalloped, repainted Olympic White, Lace pickups bridge/neck, treble booster circuit. All work done by a luthier in Bulgaria. loving lovely to play; bends and vibrato with no effort.  7.25" radius neck, so far I have not been troubled by any "fretting out" on bends either...

Ah that makes a lot more sense. I still need a guitar with a tremolo, I'm missing out on a lot of fun ornamentation stuff.

quote:From what I've been able to find, these were only made for a couple years in the mid 90s. It's missing a string, and the rest are rusty as hell. Neck is straight, frets are good, if a bit yellow/green from never being cleaned. Whole thing is just dirty. Seriously, does no one ever wipe things down? Bridge volume pot is iffy, but seems to be clearing up the more it gets turned back and forth. Played around with it at the pawn shop and couldn't find any issues that weren't related to the lovely Line 6 amp I was using. My cost out the door was $177, which I'm pretty happy with. Oh man, that's a steal. I picked up one of those a few years back, great guitar. I think I payed at least $100 more. The previous owner installed Gibson Firebird pickups which give it a very Neil & Crazy Horse sound.

I love that Strat. The Yngwie aesthetic is perfection and I really have to try out a scalloped neck someday.

Kilometers Davis posted:I love that Strat. The Yngwie aesthetic is perfection and I really have to try out a scalloped neck someday. It's worth checking out. I personally love it (for one, it makes finger placement for chords far less crucial), but it's definitely different from playing a normal neck. Honestly can't say that I see any drawbacks to it, though I imagine if you are really grabbing the strings hard things might go sharp...

I've always wanted to play one, but that is my concern. I tend to grab the poo poo outta the neck, and I'm sure I would bend everything sharp as gently caress. Although that might be the incentive to use one, break some bad habits.

That's why I'm so interested in one. The one thing I always try to focus on while playing is using as little effort as possible for my desired output. Scalloped frets would likely keep me even more mindful of that.

Stopped by a pawn shop while I was out today to see if I could get lucky and I did: One of the best overdrives for guitar and a genuine analog delay with a Cool Audio V3205 BBD chip. Result!

It's my first new instrument day in ten loving years. I'm really excited about this one.  Warren Ellis 2P Tenor Guitar by Eastwood. Ridiculously fun. Pickups sound great. Pots are poo poo and are gonna get replaced immediately. Sounds insanely great with a slide through my 1995 '63 Reissue Fender Vibroverb (serial #1). Thinking of recording a cover of "Dark was the night, cold was the ground" with it. And to top it all off it looks like a Fender Mustang with a little bit of Danelectro in its genetic makeup.

Here, have an even earlier one where the fuzz is so thick they couldn't tell how out of tune they were. Also, they were probably really drunk. I mean, they say it in the song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBn_2LCD9Gc (Had no idea the remaster sounded so good. Guess I know what I'm buying today.)

My buddy has been tracking solos for his LP and he's using Lollar singles in his Strats and they sound sublime. Is that a P-90 type or a soapbar? I bet whatever it is, it's fantastic and now I need yet another guitar so I can have a set of those. P.S. That fuzz/wah above sounds nasty as gently caress. Like some alien invasion intent on liquefying the human race.

Well, the strat I got made me hungry for more Fender necks, so the Les Paul found a new home and was replaced with this. Played a ton of teles at the music store, and this was the one that spoke to me. Even three theoretically identical Teles all sounded and felt different; this one was the brightest and smoothest. 2016 American Standard, got the Broadcaster bridge and Twisted Tele neck pickups. Also has the relief on the back like a Strat which I love since I find the "flat" Tele less comfortable. It was a store demo model so got it for 40% off list. :-) Now I really need a guitar with humbuckers too, so considering a Dave Murray strat later this year... edit: stuck some guitar hangers in the hobby room so it can chill with its buddy.

I've been thinking about getting a 335 style guitar for a while, and I found this Eastman for a reasonable sum:   It's on it's way now and I still haven't figured out how to tell my girlfriend I bought yet another guitar.

Hi, new 335(ish) friend! I got a similar urge a week or two ago and bought myself this beauty.  '93 Epiphone Sheraton, Korean (Samick), in a Metallic White Pearl all-over finish that I've never seen on another Sheraton. The lighting/pics don't do it justice and make it look Natural or kinda Blonde but it's a creamy/ivory/champagne with gold flake and has an awesome shimmer. Has a little buzz in the low E but that's easily fixable and it otherwise plays and sounds great. I'll probably take the pickguard off, may even order a custom red glitter replacement pickguard and red/gold speed knobs, but that's all I'm planning on changing near term. Down the road I may try split humbuckers with push/pull knobs like the newer Sheraton II but I'm not in any hurry.

Getting full size pots in there was a bitch and I had to Dremel part of the f hole open. I'm not sure how much more difficult that would make doing push pulls but I can't imagine it would be fun. First and last time I'll upgrade electronics on a guitar like that.

 The Tumnus has been on my list for a while and I finally grabbed one. Also super pumped for the Chase Bliss Gravitas coming in the mail tomorrow. First of those pedals I'll have played with and there seems to be no shortage of neat things to do with the controls / parameters.
