Posted by: @ Hi John, I almost bought an Ibanez once but opted for an Aria instead.....still got it somewhere in a cupboard. Cheers, Russ

The guitars that grabbed me were Ibanez but they can be seen as Strat copies. To me they are super strats. I love the design and concept of the Fender Strat because it made electric guitars become mor...

Posted by: @ Is it a Gibson Les Paul Double Cut of some kind? 🤔

@tv101 I'll have a guess at Godin. 🤔

So I thought I'd follow their lead and simplify my own too. @tv101 Good man! I did it for exactly the same reason.

Posted by: @ Hi Darren, I'm a Big Tele and Dr Feelgood fan too......I just find that the Stratocaster shape is a perfect fit. I do like a bit of Hank but I'm more a Ritchie Blackmore fan. Cheers, R...

@russ I guess this thread is a perfect demonstration why there's more than one shape of electric guitar!

Top guitar has got to be a Strat....... I am quite happy to have some of the variations - I do fancy building a SuperStrat, possibly masquerading as an Exotica..... Three pickups, possibly EMGs SA/SA...

@russ I like any that don't fall into the sound hole of my acoustic and refuse to come out again!!

@tv101 Come on TV, tell us what you really think!! Despite my first electric guitar being a really crap Strat rip off, I have never really liked them that much either. I think it was all the Hank Mar...

That neck looks stunning with the oil on it, can't wait to be doing that. @robin Thanks Robin, it’s an indoor job at this time of year. I think the trick is to get your sanding right, go through sand...

A miraculous transformation today, it seemed to take forever with the rasp to reduce the thickness of the neck, and then after smoothing the corners, suddenly it apears to be the right shape. Attac...

suddenly it apears to be the right shape. @robin Yes! It’s a great moment isn’t it, I’m hooked on the feeling. It looks great, very nice indeed. Well done sir. You will build more now.

A special moment when a stick turns into a neck.

In My Humble Opinion...........Boss Pedals are the Greatest Effects ever produced......... although I do like A Big Muff. 😋 Attachment : unnamed.jpg Attachment : hl00393097_1.jpg

Boss Pedals are the Greatest Effects ever produced. @russ I’ve always loved Boss pedals and still do. There are a lot of other manufacturers now though that are producing some amazing effect, so I do...
