Mattia Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Very, very nice... Digging the semi-industrial sort of look that's going on there a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WezV Posted October 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 cheers mattia here are some more pics i would take photos of the back but i will need to clean it first - obviously the satin finish really wants to show fingerprints!!! So its strung and wired and sounds excellent, I am not liking the bridge pickup for clean stuff but what it lacks the neck pickup more than makes up for - and both sound ecellent with the gain cranked i wont get chance to set it up properly till friday because i am off to amsterdam for a few days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WezV Posted October 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 It is this week and i considered that but we are only going to be there two nights and its really to celebrate me and my girlfriend being together 10 years so she may kill me if i suggest such a thing!! She already has to put up with a hell of a lot of guitar stuff - that might just be a step too far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WezV Posted October 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 although... any good suggestions for where to go in the evenings. we are going to do the whole museumy touristy thing in the days, you know - eat a bag of crisps in the anne frank house, stuff like that!!

Ben Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 I was always sure that strat was going to turn out well, but DAMN thats nice! The burst looks great, and the satin finish was definitely a good idea IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WezV Posted November 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 the 'finally finished' pics also had a few people trying out the fanned fret LP for me, i wasnt sure it sounded great but i have had some real experts trying it out and they all think i am being daft. All of them thought it was a lot easier to play compared to what they expected from a fanned fret build. One was the guy i am making a through neck SG for at the moment and he said he might want a FF guitar after the SG - - - even though he was very dubious about the idea of fanned frets before playing it!! I suppose i had better get it all tidied up and finished off now - better late than never Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanthus Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 SMOKIN'!!! Gotta get me one of those, the finish came out awesome! Everything fits together so naturally, I'm very impressed And re: fanned frets, I've been really wanting to get myself a guitar to fool around with and see if I like it. The one thing they don't have at guitar center, go figure, hahaha. If I went through with my study abroad, I'd have called you up next semester to try one out. How does the finished product sound? I wish I could afford pickups of that caliber *sigh* Congrats again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WezV Posted November 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 How does the finished product sound? I wish I could afford pickups of that caliber *sigh* Congrats again! the bridge pickup alone is great for metal stuff with loads of gain, but i aint so keen on it clean. luckily the neck pickup works great clean or distorted so its very they are very versatile as a pair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
