Saw this one in the garage sale, it's a beauty.

shakedancer · January 2nd, 2006, 06:59 PM

Yes it is!!!! 8) Love to give it a go!!

Stratosaurus · January 2nd, 2006, 07:18 PM

GAS attack there. Two volumes and a concentric pot for two tones would make that one a dream.

The best of both worlds: Strat comfort and styling, Gibson controllability.

Put a concentric pot on there and I'd be in heaven.

Joel Terry · January 2nd, 2006, 09:06 PM

Sweet guitar! But you know me; I'd have to have a trem.

Joel

Would be nicer with three single coils and a trem.....Hey maybe I'm on to something....?

I think someone else did that- not sure who though.

3StringGuitar · January 2nd, 2006, 09:53 PM

Throw a rosewood neck on there and a lipstick in the bridge and I'd play it :D It's certainly nice looking how it is tho heh.

Scott S · January 3rd, 2006, 02:13 AM

Looks pretty -- too bad about those humbuckers though. ;)

Thanks for the kind words on Daphne. The result was everything I hoped for in terms of looks, playability and tone.
For the traditionalists among us, I offer my other Jimmy Vaughan/USACustom. A JV neck, USACustom bod in Ash with a see-through blonde nitro finish. 6lbs, 14 oz total weight. And a wiggle stick for Joel.

jammy · January 3rd, 2006, 03:00 PM

Exactly - who needs all that strat trem rubbish anyway?

......a Strat I could fall in love with! Suh-weeeet!

phisherman1997 · January 3rd, 2006, 05:44 PM

Man, my dream strat has 2 humbuckers, like Steve Kimock's. very cool

dogman · January 3rd, 2006, 09:33 PM

Nice guitars!

This thread is giving me GAS. My USACG Alder/Sonic blue body is supposed to arrive any day. I've got a USACG Maple/Brazilian neck on the way too.

I can't wait! I decided last night that I'm going to have John Bolin do the Buzz Feiten setup.

Hardware is the Callaham strat kit. Pups are Texas Special.

Hi TGT, Yup hollow bod in mahogony, thinline style.

Tom P. · January 4th, 2006, 06:54 AM

You guys are right, these are nice guitars. I hadn't been playing this one and was feeling a New Years urge to purge. Naturally, since listing it, I have played and fallen for it all over again. Soooooo, I'm pulling the listing and she's staying home where she belongs. :o
