I'm thinking in have one since I've heard it...

 

[The Norwegian Guy]

I had the piledriver in my mind for the tele.

Max called me a madman because I had two more builds planned. Well... If orpheo can build lots of guitars - I can too!
But don't tell my girlfriend - OR my mom.

 

[ORCRiST]

Woot! Another Dave Murray strat!  :headbang1:

ORC

 

[The Norwegian Guy]

Yeah! I have had that build in mind for almost a year now!

But FIRST!!!! I have to pay a lucky dentist about 6-7000 Norwegian kroners (that's close to 1000 dollars) to fix my teeth. I had a little accident with a friend of mine when we were wrestling..... His head slammed into my chin, causing teeths to meet each other with such force that I managed to bust my lower front teeth. Snapped the lower right front tooth.... F my life! seriously! It's even painful to breathe in cold air!

Well... Let's hope the dentist is into warmoths! Then I know the money I'll pay him supports a good cause! ccasion14:

I couldn't help but notice the pic of the strat you posted has 22 frets.

 

[The Norwegian Guy]

Oops! My mistake! Forgot to change it on the "template".

I don't see it as mad, just wait til I start posting up!

 

[The Norwegian Guy]

That's the spirit!

 

[B3Guy]

WHAT?!?! no 7/8 guitar???  ccasion14: (jk. build what you want)

 

[The Norwegian Guy]

Haha, no - not a 7/8 guitar.
But I have been thinking of building a gecko though. But I have to see how much I'm able to spend before I'm pulling the trigger on that one.
