Wow! I just looked that up. Eerily similar. I originally was going to go with an all black pickguard but the wife talked me into parchment. As it turns out, she was right again ( I hate that sometimes) lol. His is a sweet guitar though!

I'm not sure who that is so I will answer no on that. I've been toying with doing this particular one for about 10 years. I just finally went for it. Thanks for the compliment.

I appreciate that and thought about doing that but I think I just want a brighter version of the 85 in there whatever that may be. I'm sure EMG makes something along those lines, just not sure which one as they seem to have quite a few pickups these days that I am in no way familiar. First world...

Thanks. I've always liked EMG's but I think I'm finding the 85 a bit too dark. I think I want something along the lines of what the 85 is giving me but a little more high end and clarity. Just a bit more spank on the 2 position as well. Just not sure what to look for. I'm an EMG fan from way...

Thank you! Yes, I love that neck finish. I've even sanded down a few of my regular maple necks and applied that finish. It's so easy to do (not the sanding part). I'm actually thinking of doing the same to one of my LP's just to see how it turns out. I hate the feel of a lacquered neck. These...

Yes, I will work on getting more pics up. I've gigged it about 8 times since finishing it two weeks ago. Need some down time to get to it. Thank you for the compliment. It's a fantastic guitar.

Absolutely gorgeous build. I love everything about it.

Probably the best build I've done. Strat body - Purple Dye - HSH route - EMG Steve Lukather Pickups - Schaller Floyd - Roasted Flame Maple Neck w/ Tru-oil and gunstock wax finish - 1 5/8 nut - Standard thin - SS 6105 frets - Hipshot locking tuners. It was a pleasure putting this one...

Great idea! Now why didn't I think of that. Thank you!
