Members notjonahbutnoah Posted July 20, 2011 Members Share Posted July 20, 2011 Forgive me, but I'm making another thread upon the full completion of this thing. It's just so bitchin, and the other one is kinda clogged. I'll be short, share my content, and we'll be done here. This is about my MIM Strat. I've had it longer than all my other 6 strings and it's mutated quite a bit. From this: To this: And as of this weekend, this: Last night I did some more setup work. Intonated, got the action nailed down and buzz free... she's playin like a champ after all these years of abuse. I just love this guitar. A solid strat is simply the bee's knees. It's been half way across the country and played a ton of shows, been dropped and left in hot cars... it just can't be phased. I also got around to making a little tone video. I don't make videos very often and have poor equipment for such things, but here it is none the less. I just play a song, occasionally stopping to switch pickups. Oh, btw, the pickups are a BG Dark Bucker in the bridge, and then two Seymour Duncan stacked, noise cancelling singles. The singles are wired in reverse so I can do bridge and neck at the same time. I'm gonna re-solder that when I get a chance. You can't really tell but the amp is actually kinda loud so I would have had to yell to speak. I just point, and I put those word bubbles on the video to make things clear. It's kinda quiet so headphones would probably help. Hope you like Tenacious D!

HNProjectcompleteGD! Heh, thanks! I like it too, you can see the black underneath the blue, and it looks like there is a decent bit of grain to this slab of alder, so that's always a plus.

Members honeyiscool Posted July 21, 2011 Members Share Posted July 21, 2011 Nice. You put that thing in phase yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members notjonahbutnoah Posted July 21, 2011 Author Members Share Posted July 21, 2011 Nice. You put that thing in phase yet? I haven't. I was gonna do it Tuesday but ended up chaning the pot on my Epiphone, and then installing a JB Jr in a buddy's Squier Strat. That one is in phase! I'm not sure when I'll get to it. Hopefully soon. Again, I just reverse the hot with the ground right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
