They look great, love that neon green one! The perfect 80s vibe.

Thanks a lot! Yes it was like an eternal repetition thing lol. But it turned out pretty well. Maple guitars sound great, it's not bright but it's very clear with punch and a nice clear growl. It's not as rich in overtones etc which can be perceived as a little flat sounding but it's a very...

A while ago I made this guitar, based on a 80s Kramer model that I like but it's hard to come by in general, the Kramer ProAxe. At the same time I wanted a white superstrat so I decided to combine the two ideas into one. I got a Kramer Nite V plus neck and a Warmoth soloist body. It was my first...

The finish is amazing, love the color!

Update: I got a very good deal on a vintage double cream DiMarzio Super Distortion from the late 70s/early 80s and put it in this guitar. I combined it with a middle and neck Bare Knuckle Trilogy single coils and this is how it looks now. I got to say it's a different pickup than the modern...

Some 80s stuff from the 90s. Shadow King - Boy: mOeMue6GN18

Yes! After one month of playing the guitar I find it's my best playing guitar now. Better than my Ibanez RGIT20FE-TGF. I also have an old LTD MH-400, and an old Ibanez RG270DX. This strat is my best guitar at the moment. The neck is outstanding, the 9.5'' to 14'' compound radius is perfect. But...

In 2011 I had ordered a Warmoth sunburst strat body and a maple/maple strat neck. It was a great guitar but the neck felt too big for me. I was a little adventurous and ordered a 59 roundback and small vintage frets just for something different from my usual taste but ended up less than ideal...

That's a good valid question and so difficult to answer at the same time. Pickups are such an important part of the guitar sound and there are so many guitar players in the world that each one will find something they want in any of those brands in the list. And the different possibilities for...

I like this one at the moment: LgfpINk7FT0

Not a contoured heel but it could lessen the effect of that corner on the palm and could fix the screws coming at an angle on the body while maintaining the standard 4 screw pattern, plus eliminate the possibility for error without the different screw lengths. Is this one easy to implement, is...

Cool I like this. Another brand you can add is Blackfire pickups by Gus G. https://www.blackfirepickups.com/ It's a super new brand but they expect to start shipping within the year from what I know.

This sounds like a middle humbucker to me. The closest I ever came to something like this in the bridge position was a WCR Fillmore humbucker. Edit: It could be a Super D in the middle as mentioned above especially if he's known to have been using them. Ceramic pickups have that high end chime too.

And a super track by a band I don't know so well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkHfR6ZZAwE

Nice! It looked familiar!
