She is sweet.  not too bad shredding either  :headbang1:.

Yep its the Graphtech Ghost LB63 Floyd Rose bridge with both the Hexpander and Acoustiphonic kits stacked.  Has midi output jack and a stereo 1/4 jack. Not the easiest to install all that fun in the cavity along with the regular magnetic pickup wiring and switches too. I am in the process of...

jonnyhippo, you have a killer finish on your strat, I dig the coloring.  Warmoth in my opinion is secound to none with making the finish look pretty on a nice piece figured wood.   taez555, your youtube video and switching system on your green strat is the guitar that inspired me to do this...

Best sounding, playing, and in my opinion looking guitar ever!  Here are just some shots from my camera phone.  I am going to make a video on youtube for everyone to hear the midi/piezo pickup and all the nice sounds she makes. There is nothing about this guitar I dont love. Graphtech...

Here some shots from a camera phone after I put here together and drilled all my holes.... Came out NICE! MIDI/PIEZO pickup is amazing I will post a video on youtube for all to see. BTW all the "spots" on the neck that everyone was talking about are actually the wood character.  The ebony had...

I have a Graphtech Floyd Rose bridge. It is supposed to be a direct replacement for the OFR but I do have an issue.  The studs that the Graphtech Floyd came with are too small for the holes Warmoth routed for me. My guitar tech says he can dowel the holes up and re drill the holes to the right...

Here are the stats, I custom ordered it so this one is not from the showcase.  And yes, unfortunately, I will have to drill a few holes in her for the contols since it will have a midi/piezo pickup... I will post pics when Im finished :headbang: 1piece Mahagany body Rear Routing H-S-H pickup...

Just got home from work to find some boxes on my doorstep... It came out better than I ever even imagined! The pieces of tape on the body are just my own markings for where I will drill holes for the controls.

Yeah Ill try the Area 58 first, this is definenately a learning experience for me anyways so I will experiment with the switching a little.  Thanks again

Thanks tfarny, you seem like you are pretty good with all this electrickery.... Do you think it would be better to just trade my Area 58 pup for say a Dimarzio True Velvet middle pup. The True Velvet is a single coil. I hope I dont run into string pull issues if I use the True Velvet.  I was...

Just ordered a custom strat from Warmoth.  Has H-S-H pickup config.  I purchased a Dimarzio Super distortion for the bridge, a Dimarzio Area 58 for the center, and a Dimarzio Air Classic for the neck. My question is on the center pickup... It is a hum canceling single coil size.  How will...

Without a doubt, one of my favorite strat builds! Great job :o

BEST TUNERS EVER :headbang1: I got them for my Warmoth Strat and I have them on my Parker Fly. They make string changing easier and definately the best for keeping you in tune.

Thanks elgravos for shining some light there.  It makes sense that neck mass is related to the neck not the bodies heel. 

I was wondering if a Strat with a contoured heel loses some tone, sustain, and has more dead spots?  Does anyone have this experience? According to old Ed Roman, the guitar builder on this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zy85Wl7ef1I having a contoured heel with less mass will create dead...
