If I was to pick-up this monstrosity on Ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWAX:IT

..would one of my Shortscale brethren based in Sheffield be able to pick it up and send it on to me? I will of course reimburse you fully plus a little mo'.

edit: the dude just mailed me back and he lives in central Sheffield (S3) and works at the Electric Works (S1 2BJ), so either is a candidate for pick-up.

Love 'n hugz,

Haha, I love those kinda creations. Coloured DiMarzios are the best.

DOPE, got it for Â£51!

Stuart, I've had no reply from Nick so I may well be turning to you for your kind offer if that's okay?

The body and tremolo alone are worth it; it's dead hard finding Strat bodies that aren't routed out totally AND mega pointy. Plus it's bare, making finishing it a little easier.

I get the feeling based on the saddle positions that the neck doesn't quite intonate properly, but I'm looking at putting a Kramer-style neck on it (why not go the whole hog?) anyways, so I can always address that if needs be.

I'm on it like Sonic.

If my weird work patterns don't make meeting a day time person impossible.

Many thanks,

Simple enough question, one would think. Hopefully he won't guilt me into paying more or buying some lucky heather or something.

Yupz! There's a hole left in my ARSENAL when I sold my Contemporary Tele, and this is even more up my street stylistically than the Tele was.

I was looking at one of those "Heavy Metal" Strats, but they go for way more than I'd be prepared to spend; considerably more than the Contemporary series, it would appear.

I always wanted a 'HM' strat in the early 90s... so I could be just like this guy......

This thing looks goofy as hell. I approve.

I've seen a fair few of these around my ends. They're pretty neat guitars to be honest.

Chandlers in Richmond have a white one which was going for Â£400 i think. Cannae afford it but might give it a whirl sometime after college this week.
