Members STEEL KAGE Posted January 7, 2013 Members Share Posted January 7, 2013 Just finished this up and its another home run!!!! This guitar looks,sounds and plays insanely well. Here is the parts list;Mighty Mite Neck-22 jumbo frets, maple, full ScallopWarmoth Body-Swamp Ash,Heavily Relicd( seriously abused) by my son and IDiMarzio Pickups-Area 61 neck,Area 67 middle, Single Coil Sized Tone Zone BridgeSchaller Bridge-Old ass German Recessed Schaller FloydI am blown away at how great this guitar is. Its sounds incredible across the gain spectrum on every pickup and once you get used to the scallops, it plays like a dream. Other than the frets needing a leveling,grind and polish, the guitar went together pretty quickly and for the most part, is little more than cheap parts that were lovingly assembled. Ive got 2 more in the works; One will be ready in a week or so and the other will be a little longer as Im not sure how I want to finish it yet. So far, these parsocaster projects are just about as good as any guitar that Ive ever owned and Ive owned quite a few over the years..Kage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Phrophus Posted January 7, 2013 Members Share Posted January 7, 2013 Well done. Something about a beat up strat with a floyd makes my loins moist. I do prefer scalloped potatoes to scalloped fretboards, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth be told, its all Ive playing since I put together that other scalloped strat and Ive really been in the zone playingwise. Kage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members twisty571 Posted January 7, 2013 Members Share Posted January 7, 2013 Do you like those Area 61/67 pups? I am sticking a Tone Zone in mine soon but hadn't decided on the SC's yet? My favorite SC I have personally owned was the Duncan AP II's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Chrisjd Posted January 7, 2013 Members Share Posted January 7, 2013 That is seriously cool. That would look awesome on stage. I don't believe I've ever played scalloped frets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kage Honestly, the only scalloped fretboard that I've ever played was one I did myself on my el cheapo first guitar, and I really didn't know what I was doing, so the scallops are extremely deep. I didn't get along well with that fretboard, but I might be fine with one that's done well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members diocide Posted January 7, 2013 Members Share Posted January 7, 2013 Looks great dude! Is the whole board scalloped, or just the upper frets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
