The builder (or Sig) name started with a J.
It may have been a signature model. The body was a more refined strat (not so rounded edges). It may have also had a tele/strat hybrid look. For some reason i keep thinking it was a similar name to Joe Duplantier. Yes im aware he is from Gojira, no...
Ive been hankering to do a Strat build for a while and this popped up for sale for dirt cheap so no better time than now I guess.
It had obviously been sitting around for a while, the action was a mile high, and the saddle was starting to corrod. But other than that it's was in pretty good...
So, I was looking around at Strats for a while and decided to pull the trigger on this one. I wanted an Elite, but the thumb wheel neck adjustment and pickups were the only real differences. It's got a 9.5" to 14" compound radius, S1 switch, and very mediocre N3 noiseless pickups. It feels great...
I wanted to get another strat in my stable ( I had a EBMM Cutlass but I sold it to fund a 7 string Blackat) and my friend had this one that he was willing to part with. I am so glad I got it from him!
Specs:Custom ordered and finished in Oct. of 2018
Body: Basswood
Finish: Alpine WhiteNeck...
I have a Dave Murray Strat, and I'm not digging the Hot Rails, and the tone controls cut the volume from the neck and middle pickups.
It only has an SSS route, so I'm most likely going to route it out. The only thing I don't want to do is HSS, that just feels too played out on Strats.
I've...
Yesterday I took a drive to pick up a used Fender Classic Player 60's strat, limited edition Lacquer model. Seafoam green, matching headstock, vintage style tuners (a first for me), all nitro finish, tweed case. I have been GASing for daphne blue or similar, and this covers "or similar". The...

My USACG strat thing...
The body is some sort of equatorial mahogany with a spalted flame/quilt maple top. It's more maple then ugly ass rotten spalt. :lol:
The neck is mahogany with an ebony board, paua face and side dots. 6150 nickle frets. And one of the last...
So I got this Strat in '95, it was my first good guitar and I played the SHIT out of this thing until I got my JEM a couple years later. Since then, I've used it very, very rarely as it had an 1/8" thick poly coat on it and it really sounded terrible. Tried different pickups and nothing really...
This summer, David Gilmour will be auctioning more than 120 of his guitars, including many of his signature instruments. The most notable instrument in the lot is the Black Strat, the 1969 Fender that Gilmour bought at Manny's in New York City and used to record everything from Pink Floyd's Dark...
As the title says. I'm really wanting to add a strat to my arsenal in the near future, but in all honesty i'm really a tele guy. I've been rocking teles for years, and while I do have other axes, either building a parts tele or modding a nashville tele to have 3 strat singles and a 5 way switch...
Iv been circling the wagon on grabbing a Charvel model x series. So questions : are any of the parts for strats interchangeable? Do the charvel necks fit strat bodies? If so, which ones. Do pickguards for strats fit the charvel bodies?
I just picked this up not that long ago, and it's in mint condition and sounds and plays killer, there's just something about it I don't care for. So I figured I would get rid of it before I screw it up trying to make it better. I'll sell it for $900 shipped, but I'd rather trade it for...
Found this on ebay a few weeks ago, and it took absolutely forever to get here. The guy wanted $450, which seemed cheap already, but I was feeling cheeky so I offered him $250 and he took it. :metal: Best I can tell its a 73ish, Ibanez 2375. Overall it is in pretty nice shape, has the requisite...

Huge thanks to Jackson Guitars - Official! for putting together this incredible Custom Shop Heavy Relic Strat for me!
This is a bit of a unique piece because it's designed to be a mix of what I go for in a guitar but in a Strat format.
Specs are...
Seems like a pretty interesting pickup combo: JB Jr. bridge, Texas Special middle and a Fernandes Sustainer neck. Also white & maple is the best combo ever :yesway:
Summer NAMM 2017: Fender launches Ed O’Brien Sustainer Stratocaster guitar | MusicRadar
Warmoth offered a pretty cheap strat body routed for Evertune bridge a few years ago, so I was quick to buy it together with a neck to build myself a Evertune guitar.
I then recorded 2 albums and played once live with it, and then sold it... :ugh:
And now I have come to realize WHY I sold...
Okay realized that not only do I not have time to play 8 string but none of the artists that I listen to use 8 string. So I traded my Agile Septor 828 for this....
Pic doesn't show the colour correctly. It is sonic blue which is a soft pastel blue and the pickguard has a brown speckled...
