Speaking of strats, I just replaced the pickups in mine with some custom hand-wound ones. They sound gorgeous. A much fuller sound than I had originally.

Now you're talking my neck of the woods.

I like the blue but stick with what you like. Especially if you are custom ordering it.

I had a boss when I started in IT. he once told me "Pain is good. if I do something wrong and I feel pain it teaches me a lesson. If a vendor screws up I will not take the hit/feel the pain for them. Until I get what I paid for I will make them feel the pain and they WILL deliver."

It is the truth. If it is not what you want then don't settle for it.

As a side note said I Play an 89 Fender Strat and an Ibanez artcore hollow body as my gigging axes. I also have a collection of others stashed away.

Just noticed the inlay on the neck, and thought it was pretty neat. Are you going with the same thing?

ucubed · 01-04-2010, 03:53 PM

You should get a nice contrasting color pick for it as well =D

acarr · 01-04-2010, 04:23 PM

That is a beautiful guitar. Is that a neck through body? Where is the bridge? I have an ESP custom shop from back around 1997 and it is the nicest guitar I have ever played.

Rabidsquirrel · 01-04-2010, 04:30 PM

Looks like it was at the last stage of assembly before the pictures were taken.

Ratters · 01-04-2010, 07:41 PM

Can't wait to see the ESP, I love those guitars. My bandmate had one and it was awesome.

Me, I kick it old school.

1980 Ibanez Artist with Duncans. Love the thing.

Just like the 80's ehh Ratters? Playing some Talk Dirty to Me. The only difference is now you are smoking real tobaccy and not wacky tobaccy.
