June Guitar/Bass of the Month: WINNER!!!!!!

[JaySwear]

black pearl would look AWESOME i think. plain old black or black/white/black could be really cool too. there really isn't a whole lot you could do to make that thing look bad, it's a pretty badass strat no matter what i think

Gotoh flatmount bridge
Vintage Pearl pickguard, parchment knobs and misc.

HOLY CRAP-A-ROONI, this is kick ass all the way. I'm biased towards mine, because it's mine, but this is one fine piece of lumber. I think I may vote for this one. If for nothing else the Sammy Davis Jr. sticker on the head. I really like this guitar, man.

I'm usually not a particularly big fan of orange or purple, but hannaugh and Norwegian Guy have both given me pause on that front.  Spectacular efforts there.

hannaugh, have you ever entered your LP in the monthly contests?  I can't get enough of that one.

Six Strats so far...  :sad1:

Tubby still has the best Gecko I've ever seen posted up here, so I'm probably going to resist voting for myself and throw it his way.

Seeing what else has been entered, he's definitely going to get my vote.

 

[Kaoskadosk]

So far it looks like I'm gonna vote for the Gecko. I'm torn though, there's some really nice entries here.

Mully helped me figure out the settings on my camera, so I have some much nicer photos now.  They're not perfect, but it's definitely an improvement even though one of them is slightly blurry.

Kay-rist that's a nice guitar!

Two tone knobs, interesting. You got some nice hardware stuff in there?

Why's that interesting?

 

[hannaugh]

Two tone knobs is the standard configuration for a Strat, no?

It has Special/Fatboy hybrid Roadhouse pups, like I said before, hand-wound by TroubledTreble.  They sound great.  This is the wiring that is in there: http://www.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2009/Jul/Gibson_50s_wiring_on_a_Stratocaster.aspx

Those new pictures look even better.  Very nice.
