Let's see your GUITAR!

Looks awesome dude. I have been following your progress in the build thread. How does it play and sound? Glad you got it finished. I see a lot of people start things and never see them through.

I have a fairly steadfast resolve in finishing things... Might have breaks which last months, but i get there

Its really quite acousticly, im used to the V being pretty loud, but it mooore than makes up for it plugged in. Even just through my wee Valvestate it sounds huge. I cant wait to run it through my TH30 at practice tomorrow

I've wanted a 335 since I started playing and finally found a good enough deal to make it happen. Stoked.

Looks great! Did you put it together yourself? What kind of trem is that?

[hbombgraphics]

I never would have ever thought to do any of that

hbomb sent me the Strat along with an old Teisco that needed a LOT of TLC, so I figured, why not put them together!

I've got the cover on the trem right now, but under it is all of the guts. I need to look into getting a new spring for the trem and actually figuring out how it works, but for now it's got no spring and is pretty much hard tailed.

The strat didn't need much work done to it, new brass nut up at the top, I painted and rerouted the pickguard for HSH before deciding to just keep it with the middle pickup (which I have since swapped for the middle strat pickup instead of the tele one in the picture). Made the jack plate out of spare aluminum, took off the old bridge and all of the trem crap in the back. It's a lot lighter weight now. Significantly shimmed the neck to work with the new trem and it plays well now, about the action that my Nelson has. The only thing that I need to do really at this point other than the spring is intonate it, but its only really the G that needs intonated, the others were fairly spot on.

The guitar itself I suppose is my reaction to hating strat trems. Plus I always love an excuse for some behind the bridge action!

[Obulus]

Awesome, it looks somewhat like an offset trem. Strat trems are awesome too though, I have a cheapo strat with an extremely shrieky trem. Divebombing tuned in A + the shriek factor is instant horror!

[Moose]

That looks awesome! I'm currently renovating a strat at the moment, I've been debating whether or not to put a bigsby on it, or a top-loading hardtail.

Keep up the good work Skully

TIGHT

[skullservant]

Thanks all! I looked it up on ebay and it's only a few bucks for a new spring so I think I might grab one within the next week or so, along with a screw in trem arm

[Eivind August]

Now THAT is a superstrat.

Got some sweet new Couch straps in the sale

[frigid midget]

Not even sure if I already posted all this ages ago, but what the hell...











That last pic came out waaaaay more shiny and red than the geetar really is
The brown jag is also darker irl. It's a 25.5 scale jaguar that I made out of mij fender hardware, an aftermarket neck, SD pup's, and a custom made guard and body.
Not shown: Taylor BT2M acoustic, Kawai Alembic bass copy, mij squier strat, fleemarket pos geetar.
