They must be letting AI render the builds...

It's totally preference. Personally I'd rather have one knob that does the the one thing and I don't ride my tone knobs, so it's not a big deal for me to have only one (or none in two of my strats). I also think people frequently agonize over controls/configurations while neglecting what you can...

I'm with NedRyerson and Strat Avenger's #2 - check your relief. When initially setting up I also frequently do the "capo on 1" trick to remove the nut from the equation, and then only after everything else starts to fall into place would I start filing the nut.

That's a bummer - I haven't ordered from them for about a year, but I liked that site. I've had good experiences with https://www.stringsandbeyond.com/ Might also help if you state a brand or series preference... D'Addario sells singles right on their website. Ernie Ball used to let you do a...

Long backstory I won't get into, but I did some large guitar ensemble arrangements and playing. Aside from the baritone setup and bass, everyone else sat in the same range and it felt muddy/clouded - so I started exploring higher tuning with the 24.75". I've comfortably played a 24.75" up a...

McMurdo Station. I have a hoodie from there. No I didn't go there.

I keep finding that bodies with fancy grain and exotic finishes look different on arrival, so it's hard to judge until its in the flesh. I agree with the folks saying nickel/cosmo black would look good.

Wasn't there a song in the 2000's called "Everyone Plays Guitar" ?

I want to do as little finish work as possible, and I'm not a satin fan. I love a classic strat, but I love an Ibanez S more so I dig the design, just nothing that I wanted in the initial run (except the unfinished flame lam top that someone bought within a minute of me opening the page).

I have only purchased a pack of their oversized nuts to redo a seven and an eight string. Cheaper than other options, but questionably less square out of the package. I've purchased a number of small parts from MusicLily to test the waters, and thus far they've been consistently good. Still not...

Can they put a unique choice lam top on my 7/8 body blank?:)

I thank Bill Burr for sharing the video last year without the dumb American commentators talking over it...

What is this pickgaurd? Is it anodized aluminum or something? Or wood? Love the texture.

Correct. Some of my extended range guitars have double cut without 6-in-line but for six strings, it's pretty much the unwritten rule floating around in my subconscious.
