Show us your Strat

MEL_P · January 25th, 2006, 05:03 PM

Hey,
I thought it would be a good idea to open a thread in which (everyone who wants to) you can post a picture of your Strat and tell us the story of it, the specs, what is special about it. I think there's a great story behind every instrument, and if not at least great specs or specialities.

So this is mine:

http://www.tube-town.de/ttforum/inde...0;id=263;image
http://www.tube-town.de/ttforum/inde...0;id=264;image

O.K.
It's a custom built "Haar" Stratocaster made in Netherlands. I orderd it in August and recieved it in in December. The great thing about it, it looks great, it feels great and it sounds awsome! Actually I wanted a Fender CS Strat but as this one just costs the half I got me some other stuff :D
The specs:
Neck:
-Flame Maple with Brazillian Rosewood Slapboard
-Compund Radius (7.25"-10")
-thick C shaped back
Body:
-Alder 2 pieces
-3TSB
-"medium" (seems to me like hardcore aged)aged
Hardware:
-Vintage Style tuners, tremolo
-CTS Pots, CRL Switch
-Van Zandt Blues Pickups

The sound is undiscribable, really bluesy fat, but clear, really awsome.

And the hompage:

sounds like a cool guitar but I can't see it since you apperantly need to make an account with that hosting site.

I'll post mine next week when I get it back from my friend who's using it.

Hi

how do I upload pics on the forum?!

Joe-Bob · January 25th, 2006, 11:30 PM

This is my MIJ 68 RI Strat. It has an ash body, I put on a white moto pickguard and trem cover, and slid in a set of CS Fat 50s pups.

MEL_P · January 26th, 2006, 07:44 AM

Oh, your right, you need to be logged in to see the pics :?
I don't believe you can attach files to your post though it says:

DO NOT POST ANY PHOTOS WIDER THAN 500 PIXELS WIDE!

Anyway, then at least tell us about your guitars or name a website.
That's mostly what mine looks like:

Nice 'bursts!

Here's something a little different...

It's a bone stock Squier Black & Chrome Strat...

My wife took one look at that guitar strap and called me "juvenile"... But I like it...

It started out as a Fat Strat and through multiple pidkup changes and mods, it now has master volume and master tone with a set of CS Fat 50's.

My buddy, Duke Nukem, got a nice brand new burst & maple for Christmas.

Now then--I believe I'll have that drink. Spiced rum and Coca-Cola®, please. :P

My strats.

On the right, my lipstick red 1989 Squier Strat "the veteran" Bought new on my fifteenth birthday in 1991. It has a Dimarzio Soapbar at the bridge and a Kahler Professional tremolo, I replaced it's original neck with a 1983 Fernandes neck which had a (non original) Lock nut installed.
On the left, "The Blonde" which like "The Veteran" has a Fernandes neck, the body comes from a sale of strat bodies that a collegue of mine informed me of. It has two fender American standard pickups (Neck and Middle) and a Dimarzio HS3 at the bridge. I installed a Graphtech nut and a stringtree and they really keep the thing in tune when I use the whammy.

Go here for a high res picture of my strats

"Telenator, I love your '79!"

Thanks OutlawSteph1975! It's one heavy guitar with perhaps, the slimmest Strat neck I've ever played. We're talkin' almost Bonnie Raitt slim!

I love that snap you get from a hard tail too!

Joel

Sorry Joel, it isn't, It has the same headstock, which leads me to believe it's the same generation, possibly the same factory, but it has different pup covers (notice in my pics the silver print on the pups), different neck, and the body is alder rather than agathis from what I can see.

It really bugs me that I don't know what it is, I want to get myself another as a backup! It's the best Squier I have EVER played, better than most Mex standards I've played too..

So ladies and gents, that drink is still on offer, any takers?
Thanks for the suggestion though. :)

Well I'm 17, here you have to be 14 to go in a pub and order from the bar (obviously this excludes alcohol), and from the age of either 15 or 16 you can order an alcoholic drink with a meal (though I'm pretty sure you can only have one), and you have to be 18 to drink as much as you like :D , but none of these things stop me from pub crawling. 8)

Oh, well--that drink can wait.

James, did you buy that Strat new or used? If used, do you suspect it's a partscaster--one that someone might have put together from a lot of good Strat parts? It's a heck of a great-looking Strat.

dangerine49 · January 31st, 2006, 09:44 PM

Here's my '98 MIA Deluxe. A real sweet thing. Not much of a story behind it, but it was a great buy used at $465 shipped.

WickedGTR · January 31st, 2006, 09:57 PM

My fave is my Custom Shop strat. It was one of the earliest custom shop strats- before it was 'open to the public' or made any production models. It was built to order by JW Black. Silver sparkle Nitro finish is aging greenish gold. I swapped the pickguard and pickups from an old '66 I had onto it. Matching silver sparkle caps. It's the one I recorded 'certain stuff' on, so you might have heard what it sounds like. Note the bent talent lever!

Old Silver

It's one heavy guitar with perhaps, the slimmest Strat neck I've ever played. We're talkin' almost Bonnie Raitt slim! I love that snap you get from a hard tail too! __________________ Dogs have the right idea! www.telenator.com

It was one of the earliest custom shop strats- before it was 'open to the public' or made any production models. It was built to order by JW Black. Silver sparkle Nitro finish is aging greenish gold. I swapped the pickguard and pickups from an old '66 I had onto it. Matching silver sparkle caps. It's the one I recorded 'certain stuff' on, so you might have heard what it sounds like. Note the bent talent lever! Old Silver Matching caps __________________ http://www.myspace.com/jameswilsey
