Members BillyCorgan Posted May 30, 2010 Members Share Posted May 30, 2010 Well i was very tempted to buy my hero's signature guitar but my favorite that he ever played was '74 hardtail Strat. I just got a '76 Strat body on Ebay for $228. Gonna get it repainted midnight blue and throw some lace sensors in it. Here's what it's gonna look like. I'll be posting more in this thread as it progresses. Oh can anyone tell what bridge is in that picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members m90guy Posted May 30, 2010 Members Share Posted May 30, 2010 I wanted to buy one of those. Great guitars, and I love the specs, but for a tiny bit more I could have a strat built to my specs doing the warmoth/partscaster thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MAX OD Posted May 30, 2010 Members Share Posted May 30, 2010 I heartily approve of this thread, and I await its next installment with great anticipation. What kind of neck are you going to use? Is it 3-bolt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it 3-bolt? Ya it's a 3 bolt. The guy i'm buying it from has the original neck on ebay but i need to wait for some more funds to come in before i splurge haha.I think i'm gonna get a vintage 70s neck either way.Any suggestions for tuners?

Members wagdog Posted May 31, 2010 Members Share Posted May 31, 2010 Like! I have a '74 hardtail, absolutely love the guitar. I did add a 4'th screw/bolt under the 3-bolt neckplate for stability though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lefchr Posted May 31, 2010 Members Share Posted May 31, 2010 Sounds cool I can't wait to see how it ends up. I just threw a red silver blue lace set in a strat copy I have, they are great pickups. I love the old pumpkins too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members V Posted June 1, 2010 Members Share Posted June 1, 2010 One cool thing about Corgan is he actually uses his signature guitar all the time. Apparently Fender offered him a custom shop version of it and he insisted on playing the general production version that everyone else can get. I'd personally love it if i had this guitar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd personally love it if i had this guitar: Ya i'd like to have that one too but i prefer the hardtail. Maybe i'll do the '57 RI later. I have the exact bat stickers he used on it.
