Another MJT Build - a Strat this time.

Was it a Garrard 410? That's the only possession I have left of any perceived value, plus it's ex-radio 1 and used by er, y'know, some bloke.

I've been thinking of shifting it to fund an MJT Jaguar build. I have so many questions.

I am happy to answer your questions. For instance: no, it was a Michell Engineering Hydraulic Reference turntable.

Somehow missed this thread. Looking great Tim, cant wait to see and hear about the finished product.

The 40th, the inevitable Strat, Horlicks..

Makes a change from the fake tan.

Y'know, I completely missed this thread first time round, so good on yer, Tim! This is the replacement for the Tokai Springy Sound?

I've reread that post a number of times trying to work out what the fuck I was on about. I think (looking at the dates) it should have read:

Am thinking I might need a redder tort, but will see how it looks once I've got the pickups and knobs on it first. Am excite.

Post by **Hurb** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 11:19 pm

I think it will look good with the white pickups etc

This was my first thought also, but thinking about it, as Hurb said, I think it will look good once the pups and knobs are in.
The whole thing looks ace.

IMHO with a classy colour the more restrained tort is the thing.

Looks ace Tim, I like everything about it and the tame Tort gets another vote here.

Fuck that Tort!

I LOVE the neck though, seriously gorgeous. And the body is very nice. Do the right thing and put a mint pickguard on it you heathen bastard.

At the very least don't go for red tort, it'll look worse.

I am jealous - I had serious lust for a Strat a little while back that I'd supressed back again until now.
