Alright, we've recently had a tele thread and now an LP thread. Now it's time for the strat (both quot;normalquot; and super, why not). Get after it!
EDIT: I forgot a description! Alder Fender body, birdseye maple neck from USA Customs finished w/ satin nitro from Reranch. Abalone dots, Sperzel tuners, Callaham trem block, matching trem plate on the back from Warmoth, master volume/master tone/blend control setup. Pickups are in my sig.



The first is my 80's Squire 57 RI, the second is a parts-o-caster. A friend did the sunburst w/ nitro from ReRanch, and I went to town on it with a dremel and a set of small hand chisels.

yeah here we go...strat thread!! i have a new found love for my strats and have a 5th one in the works!! -Mike

here's my lil contribution....mewmender...what do we have there? warmoth or fender (MIA, MIJ, or MIM?) and what color white is that? my next strat i think will be white and i'm trying to decide what white. thanks.

-Mike

thats a 96' MIM strat with an Alpine White warmoth body

thanks man, you just helped me decide...i think i'm leaning towards alpine white warmoth over an olympic white fender body for this build!

Mike...didn't you sell off a bunch of Strats a while back to pay for several Tele's...now were back to Strats!!!

You do indeed have OCD my friend!

lol...i sold all my regular MIM strats and replaced them with the pewter strat and the twistedcaster first. then i got a new body and new neck (still in the mail) for my black tele (was midnight wine/mirror) then got the white strat from TC...then i got the gold esquire...then the red esquire....then the maiden strat...and etc etc. i have love for all strats and teles now. i was pissed with my strats and went through 6 duncans in they yellow one to find the sound i wanted and 3 duncans in the pewter one. then i stuck dimarzios in both of them and found strat heaven for me!! so now i have a new love for strats again!

-MikeI was just givin youa hard time bro! Im with ya...I love Strats and tele's, and if I have the cash to build all the ones I want I wouldn't have anywhere to sit!!! There are 3 or 4 more Strats and at least 3 more Tele's that I want...

My one and only real strat.The supa dupa strat.

And both

The bastard-child that is my Strat. It used to be a MIM 2001 Standard, but I got bored with it. The stock bridge pickup is in the neck with an alnico 2 mag sitting under it. The bridge pickup is an old PATB-1. Two volume knobs, master tone, selector switch and a split for the bridge. Someday I'll do something better with it.

I had a Washburn N4 once. I was stupid for selling that guitar.

I've had so many guitars it's not even funny. 36 or 38 last count.

sweet guitar tito

My modded 2004 Fender American Standard Stratocaster.........

Thanks William but i can't take much credit for it...TC designed it and i got it from him, i just changed up a few small things and added my own custom headstock logo to it. i may change the pickups in the future...i like the ones in it now but i'm still not 100% sure yet.

Well got three left.
One is a repeat offender, it is my tear it apart guitar.
Everybody should have at least one ugly guitar
