Hmmmmmm. Doesn't do it for me.

Looks the best of the bunch from where I'm sitting.

The more I look at it, the more I like it actually..

Good lad. I think it looks classy, but dangerous.

I don't like the black/white tuxedo effect - so played out.

If it were normal Strat SSS setup, I wouldn't dig it, but it somehow works with the soapbars.


No thanks, Hank.

The Custom II pulls it off well enough, and if it's good enough for my ol' pal Aen..

DOOO ITTTT.

Mr Marvin has gold hardware on that strat. Eugh.

Gold Hardware and Hank are the issue.

All black Fender + maple fingerboard = TEH SEHX

completely true.

I put p-90s in my strat once. just to warn you, it is insanely bright in the bridge position. I think I have a small amount of hearing loss due to that guitar actually. seriously.

if you are using a british style amp it should probably work great but with bright fender amps it's a bit painful.

Was it angled? I'm putting mine in straight, yo.

I'm down with BRIGHT, but I'll make sure it's not too close to the bridge, I don't fancy a Jaguar again..

Dew it!

it was straight. I think that's one of the reasons it was so bright. it made the low strings bright as well as the high strings. Yea, I love super biting bright tonez as well, but this was a little over the top. an already bright guitar + straight-across + high-output + bright amp = way too bright. I think if you just didn't put it like all the down at the bottom (like I did)it would probably work out.

Hopefully my "vintagey" choice and careful placement will get rid of any icepickness.. we shall have to see, y'all!

COUNTRY BUCKERS!

I wanted this guitar so bad, until my idea paralleled that Billy Corgan strat... You have an ace guitar, dude.

Ehhh?

I don't understand what he's on about half the time.

Extensive but still scrappy 'Shooping results in this beauty:



I really like the gun metal grey scratchplate, happened by fluke when I was making the mock-up. It may well have to be a totally DIY job, but as a Albini Travis Bean vibe about it that I really dig.

It looks nice, I'd still go for Black Scratcher but that's me.

Looks preeeetty cool, but there's something about having no definition between the parts that I don't dig.

If I can't get hold of a good enough grey, I guess black will be the next choice.

Hmm. Yeah I see what you mean. It still works for me but I can understand your reservation.
