Ever get a proper workin' neck on?

OK keep us in suspenders @ them pickups for a while but not long please. Inquiring minds want to know.

cbass, gittler's made of stainless steel so it sparkles n shines when clean & polished right, ya might say glitter even. It's all good. I put in a year working for the diamond dog hisself, can't get much more glitter than that. Wrote me a good paycheck besides so it's all to the better. If he was here he'd be havin' a laugh about it too. It's all theater. I'd do it again in a minute.

Dimarzio HS-3. I was playing through a Pod XTII ver 3.0 or something software into the return on an Egnater Rebel 20. Shit sounds like Jimi on fire.

No proper neck because of Klusons modern idea of a tuner screw doesn't work. Need local source for stainless. With the broken rod and 10s (I use 8s) I was pounding Trower out of it. Insane. I wish I could make a tube amp sound so good. Yeah, I said that. I can, just not at less than concert volume without a rack.

Me and these pickups since the day they were born though. I like Duncans for plain old meek strat and these for mean ol puddy tat. Rawr!!!

I'm way too rollin' stoned.. wicked and inspiring. I love this sound. Fluid sustain and still sounds like the open balls of a stratocaster. Help me. Jees I need a new strat.

Sounds inspiring!

Thanks for not making me (& the rest) wait. That's a heckuva review. I'll let Herr Blucher (rmnhhnnhnnhn, horse whinny noise) know he's got another fan next time I see him. Not that he needs to expand his ego any. Will have to give the HS-3 a go. Mention Trower & you have my attention.

Start planning your next strat. Dream of strat sugarplums tonight... :D if you can get much sleep.

At my best count I have had near 8 hours of sleep since Monday 7:03am my zone. Today eloquence easily burst into expletive spew and I am feeling like a hundred bucks. Tonight I sleep.

I have maybe 4 strat kits laying around but not enough time to throw for a bit. I have an itching scratch built 66 V copy I made that has been sitting partless and I decided on a color change. It is my last stand against the other strongest will I have ever known. A tribute. I already named it Billy. Now to do something he would have protested.

I was always right. Always. This time I get last word.

ALWAYS

The last word is "Yep". :)

I like DiMarzio's.

This Schecter Strat has DiMarzio stacked humbuckers. I removed the string-clamping-bar at the headstock and blocked the trem. Not much of a whammy bar user myself.
