Aluminum strat project

Wow, you have your own signature pickup now. Those are sweet, this just gets better and better.  ccasion14:

I can't wait to get the neck and bridge in, so I can get this bad boy cranked up... arty07:

 

[keeper006]

I haven't watched a build thread where I was just as interested (if not more) in hearing how it turns out as in seeing it.  :blob7:

 

[DangerousR6]

If the neck turns out as bad ass as everything else(which is always the case with the "W"), it should be quite a looker... :laughing7:

 

[TroubledTreble]

Awesome job Ken... :rock-on:

Thanks Doug! I love doing custom stuff. As always all anyone needs  to do is ask. I make quite a bit of stuff not listed on the site.

Those look great! I hope we don't have to wait to long to see it completed. That neck should be really something on this guitar.

Got my custom made pups in today from Ken at Roadhouse.  The button head cap screws were my idea, coming from the invader style hum. I wanted that look in a single coil. Not sure how they are going to sound, but with Ken at the helm, I'm sure they will be off the charts... :headbang1:

Oh ya, and he named them after me...D6's.. :headbang1: :headbang1:

Awesome job Ken... :rock-on:

That is beyond bad-ass.

Looks like some monster magnets underneath those things. Better be careful about eating any ferrous metal stuff - you're liable to rip it out of your gut right through your diaphram. And as we all know, without a diaphram you run a serious risk of getting preggers.

I guess I shouldn't play "Iron man" then.... :laughing7:

No. Stick with "Sweet Leaf". It'll make my parents turn over in their urns.

Well the Scartozi bridge unfortunately won't work just yet in this application. Haven't figured out the 2 post fix yet..  But ya, i hear someone does some baddass neck plates... :dontknow:

 

[Cagey]

Speaking of the Scartozi bridge, you know what would be nice? A properly sized hole for a 6-32 x 1/4" self-tapping screw in the thick part, with a 3/8" x .100" or so relief around it to hide the screw head so you could hook up a ground wire.

:doh:....good idea.. :icon_thumright:

Well I thought Doug might need some help to match this Aluminum Guitar with other things  :icon_scratch:

Kind of like this ....

So I did some digging around, and come up with these  :icon_biggrin:

Boots with mudflaps, lol ccasion14:

 

[DangerousR6]

I kinda like the boots...

 

[Cagey]

Those boots are so metal...​

 

[DangerousR6]

Well until I get my custom bridge plate made, I bought one of these just in case the neck shows up before I'm ready... :toothy12:
