Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted October 16, 2007 Moderators Share Posted October 16, 2007 Over in Atrox's Mason giveaway thread someone mentioned a Strat for Stratogirl. I'll put it together and send it if people wanna shell in bits n pieces or funds. As most of you are Stateside I reckon funds will be best. I'm still looking for contributions as I want to include a fair lot of strings, picks, a strap and to shore up the shipping fund, so just PM me for the Paypal address or if you want to send cash, gold, camels, or vestal virgins, you can have my home address The latest inventory is: Body & pickguard/backplate: Funderbunk RECEIVEDNeck: Atrox RECEIVEDBridge: Go Cat Go RECEIVEDPickup set: Ancient Mariner RECEIVEDBridge pup: Bryan (Norcal) RECEIVEDMiddle pup: Spirit of the Age RECEIVEDTuners: Bluesrock 70s RECEIVEDSchaller Strap locks: SUV Steve RECEIVED Individual request:The Principles of Correct Practice for Guitar - Suggested and paid for by LA Racer Additions from contributions:TunerCrash Course - Electric GuitarBlack Tolex Hard Shell CaseGuitar maintenance bookMason Guitars t-shirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wah wah Posted October 16, 2007 Members Share Posted October 16, 2007 Why not a real strat from Musician's Friend? I think we could talk them into it. And with all the members here I think we could donate enough real fast to get one into her hands very soon. They could set up a P.O. box and a paypal account. We could ask her whether she wanted an ash or alder bodied one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GarysBlues Posted October 16, 2007 Members Share Posted October 16, 2007 I have brand new Multi-ply pick guard [ Fender USA ] white off a HWY-1. Still has the plastic on it. Give me an address and I'll send it. Regarless of the body, loaded or not. It will give it a NEW look!BTW I like the PINK body! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Minitruth Posted October 16, 2007 Members Share Posted October 16, 2007 Nobody who really wants to play should be prevented by geographical location. I'd thought of this myself, but being in the US would make it nearimpossible. Hopefully the UK would be a better launching pad. This is the kind of stuff that keeps me playing guitar and writing songs. Hope for thehuman race. Shows that all are not indifferent tossers.

Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted October 16, 2007 Author Moderators Share Posted October 16, 2007 PM me with a Paypal account and I'll pitch in what I can. I think what I'll do is hold off on accepting any money until we get hold of Stratogirl and have a wee chat about logistics. But in the meantime keep the pledges coming in and I'll contact you all when we sort something out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members andrew_k Posted October 16, 2007 Members Share Posted October 16, 2007 This is very cool, but please be aware that getting an entire guitar to Romania might be tough. I work for a publishing company that won't ship there as the number of books that disappear in the mail when shipping there is astounding. If people are so willing to steal individual books on computer programming then a complete guitar stands a very high chance of getting nabbed. Best bet would be to send it in parts :-/ I have a seymour duncan super distortion that I could throw in if it's wanted.. not very Strat, but I am pulling it out of an HSS strat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SpiritOfTheAge Posted October 16, 2007 Members Share Posted October 16, 2007 Hells Yeah! I have some tuners of my now gone squier protone (they are gold though) and im sure i have 1 GFS greybottom middle pickup somewhere amongst my collected bits and bobs.

Members renier Posted October 16, 2007 Members Share Posted October 16, 2007 i have an old yellowed pickguard (if you decide on the relic look that is) and some nicely aged pickup covers and knobs. i think i have an old ibanez Rg middle sc lying around, but i have no idea how it sounds. i'm from the netherlands though, so it might be kind of a hassle sending the stuff to the us only to have it shipped back as a completed guitar a week later... good idea though!

Members GilmourD Posted October 16, 2007 Members Share Posted October 16, 2007 She was interested in a Gilmour-type Strat, right? Maybe get that pink Strat body, paint it black, put a maple board neck on it, and put some GFS greybottoms in it? I dunno what I have to donate... Somebody PM me later tonight to remind me and I'll check when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Willyguitar Posted October 16, 2007 Members Share Posted October 16, 2007 I'm happy to chip in, as I am married to a Romanian too. Under different circs, could have carried one out to her, as we are going for Xmas, but we have a ton of baby stuff to take this time - what would i need to do? Could do through Paypal?
