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=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, 10:30 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, 06:44 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.

Tdot · January 26th, 2006, 11:18 PM

Oh yeah, my Strat is just black/rw Am Std, nothing unusual except the cute neck plate.
