Strat62, what is that cool sunburst Strat with the mirror pickguard and the sideways humbuckers?
That's my stereo project. The center pup is split so the top three strings have one output jack; the bottom three another. It's my answer to Neil Young's Stereo White Falcon. Very interesting to record with.

77 Ibanez Challenger

I got the neck and body from a friend 4 or 5 years ago and had to scrape 3 coats of paint off it, replaced the frets ,custom S.S. neck plate original tuners, cut a new nut from a soup bone , Challaham bridge, pick guard and misc., Fralin vintage hot pickups, paint from Reranch.
Got more money into this than any other build and I got the neck and body for free.
But this is the only Strat I will ever need .
She plays like a dream and I could not be happier

1996 Peavey Raptor 1. Pickguard was spray painted flat black, and tremolo replaced with all parts left handed tremolo.

That's cool. Record a solo using the two middle strings and pan it left and right. Then play it backwards with a sitar and fuzz bass.

This is my Cort Effector. It has built in effects like phase, delay, vibrato, distortion, chorus- all wonderfully terrible in their own way. Its the only guitar model I've seen with a "speed" knob to control the vibrato like waves in a sustained note.

Funny... All of these features and it doesn't even allow you to select which pickup you are using. They are both on the whole time.

I built the pickguard, had the tele control plate laser-cut, and put fender chickenhead amp knobs on there.

Trashy garage guitar goodness.

I bought this Peavey in 1993! I still have it, and play it regularly. She's been a great guitar!
I have a '90's Peavey USA Predator too. Picked it up for $100 used, to replace my MIM Fender with similar specs (and one less fret, the Peavey has 22):

Oops, forgot I had this one too. It's a GFS build with a blem body and neck. Never even did a decent set up on it, a new Gretsch showed up the day after I strung it up and this one got shoved into the closet...

It reminds me of the M*A*S*H episode where (I think it was) Trapper ordered a new suit from a local tailor & he put the pinstripes horizontally rather than vertically.
