Kinda vintage hardtail strat

[NicosRebel]

Some news...

I ordered the Warmoth narrow hardtail bridge, but I'm not satisfied again :icon_scratch:

Because Callaham doesn't make a bridge for this narrow routing ; the idea is to keep the Warmoth baseplate, contersunk the harsh backing hole and install Callaham 2" 1/16 saddles... but the Warmoth saddles are 2" 1/8, so I have a little gap between the saddles...

I put a Fender Aged White kit of knobs and pickup cover, and I like to have your opinion about the color you prefer (cream or aged white)

More important than that, the guitar sound goooood !!!! Really like a vintage strat with a nice "pneumatic" kind of sound on the neck pickup and more important the bridge pickup is not too harsh...

The Boat neck is a little more difficult to play than the other "standard thin" I have but the sound and feeling is chunky and fat

Another nice build She's now meet the other Strats and go Rocking !!!

Me, I would choose black knobs and pickup covers. If not black, then white. If not white, then cream. Aged white would be my last choice.

But that's just my preferences.

Anyway, that is a cool strat!

Nice looking guitar. The bridge looks fine to me.....

Damn dude, this looks perfect. This is the second time I have seen that color scheme in the past few days, must be a sign. I'm thinking I'll do something like that for the next build.

Also, dont worry at all about the saddle gap, that is barely even noticeable.

3 very beautiful guitars brotha. All look stellar.

Thanks... I just throw the aged white plastics away and put back in place the cream plastics.

You're right for the bridge but in the future I will change by the 2" 1/16 for a slightly narrow string spacing. (actually 2" 1/8 bridge spacing) but it's not a big problem...

Thanks Surf !

This guitar actually sing, scream, resonate a lot and every single note have a big sonic impact ! I dont ever know that was possible with single coil pickup config.... I love it

My best guitar for pushed clean tone... and for vintage fuzz things

The blue one is best for Blackmore / Malmsteen / Neoclassical type of shreddind and the Korina.... Mmmhhh Early Gary Moore and all heavy rock music  :rock-on:

...is that a black screw on the top of the input jack?

Not to pick on you, but this is a common thing. Look at all these jacks...

You know, I just saw this. Must visit the forum dozens of times a day, don't know how I missed it. At any rate, I stand corrected.

Really love the natural finish! Awesome looking Strat and with those DiMarzios I'm sure it sounds better than it plays!
