I thought the same thing, I put a body order in 2/17 😅

That is really sharp, awesome! I like that body shape and the olive drab / black / chrome aesthetic is absolute 🔥🔥🔥.

No Kaoss pad? 😄 That is a really sharp look, love it!

The phase and series aspects of the JP wiring would be valid, and you may or may not like the results. At a guess, I would expect two WRHBs in series to be more useful than two PAFs in series due to the WRHBs inherently brighter character. And you either like out-of-phase or you don’t… The coil...

I’m not sure how I feel about that. I mean, to be fair, non-Fender guitars of that shape are typically referred to as “S-Style”, and that shape is only generic and ubiquitous because of the popularity and success of the Strat. So I get where Fender is coming from. But this definitely seems like...

WRHBs are their own thing. I love them, but they are quite distinct from PAF tones, as stated above. I captured clips of the Revel WRHBs in my Thinline Tele, they may give you an idea of what they are about: Revel WRHB Sounds (Gotta say I kind of miss the feature of the old Forum software that...

I just got around to giving your linked tunes a listen, holy cow man! Smokin’! I cannot believe the tone in the New Year video comes from a Tele sporting single coils. That was hands down my favorite. Exceptional work on all counts 🔥

There’s something familiar about that Kershaw! I love that knife. It was my EDC for a long time until I got… Are Leathermans allowed in the knife chat? I’ve been carrying the Leatherman Signal for about a year now and I love it. Thumb-out blade, saw (which I actually use rather a lot)...

Beauties all! I have one like your “unplanned” child, it is the 3xLollartron Tele in my post earlier in the thread. Took inventory one day and figured out I had a whole guitar’s worth of stuff laying about 😄 It has developed some from those humble origins, but that is known to happen…

That birdseye!!! 🤯

I have tried the bare axle up front on F-Logo B5s (on Teles) because they sit much closer to the saddles than a standard B5 and break angle becomes a thing. Wasn’t crazy about that though. Bricks has smaller diameter front rollers on bearings that are quite nice, I have been running those on my...

I'm no stranger to a Bigsby, and if 20+ years of fiddling with them could be distilled to a single Golden Rule of Bigsby, it would be this: A Bigsby will be at its most functional and least frustrating only after you replace every single moving part. There are a couple of places offering...

Your eyes do not deceive you. Frets were installed by Warmoth but no further work has yet been done to them. Despite being several years old, it is basically fresh out of the box.

I’ve played quite a bit with the “Seven Sound” Strat wiring as well. I’ve found I do not like duplicates in my switching options, so I usually go the other direction with it. On a Strat, when the switch is engaged, it adds the neck pickup only to position 1 and 2, so Bridge becomes Bridge +...
