Members Lonnie99 Posted August 18, 2013 Members Share Posted August 18, 2013 I didn't say "best" on purpose, too subjective. I've owned a few Carvin Bolt kits and liked them well enough, but I picked up a Bolt Classic the other day that damn near pays itself. It's the Bolt that Carvin finishes and puts together for you versus you doing it yourself. I've always loved the Carvin ebony necks but found the Bolt necks super thin. This one has a much larger neck that fills my hand nicely and was ordered with real MOP block inlays. Looks nice with the satin black body, black pick guard and ebony fretboard. How about you?

Members onelife Posted August 18, 2013 Members Share Posted August 18, 2013 For a traditional strat I like the Tokai from the early 80s. In a modern version I like the G&L Comanche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members billybilly Posted August 18, 2013 Members Share Posted August 18, 2013 The ones I build myself, by a long way. That's the beauty of a strat or a tele, they were meant to mod. We should all have one that's the perfect fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tvvoodoo Posted August 19, 2013 Members Share Posted August 19, 2013 I think that Carvin might be my favourite too - I like the jazzmasterish block inlays on strats a lot. All four strats I have are non-fender This week, it's my most recent frankenbuild / refinish. Like it so much I had to make a themed strap for it too, just finished last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members pathofspirit Posted August 19, 2013 Members Share Posted August 19, 2013 I used to have a Fernandes that I got in the fall of '84. Great guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
