    Ugly Production Guitars

    some wonderfully horrific photos on here.  Have to say i think the black squire strat with humbuckers is beautiful as is Trey's Paul Languedoc.  The Languedoc guitar, in my opinion is extremely appealing in just about every aspect. Obviously going for gibson hollow-body qualities with...

    at Jack and Troubled those guitars are awesome. I dig both the Tele and the Strat.  At Exam, my guitar was cut from an awesomely bookmatched Alder blank from Warmoth.

    what makes expensive guitars seem set up so well?

    Neck Heel Strength?

    Hi , does anyone have any info to share on the strength of a neck heel regarding how much "full (body) thickness" or lack thereof is left by the cutting of a shape from a blank.  For example, on a Strat, the lower horn is cut back towards the bridge for high register access..to the point that...
