My weekend project (guitar content!)

[antz]

Just finished building this guitar to pass the time. It was a long term christmas project which infact took me only one evening to complete

 

All in all it cost me £118.58 to build. (nearly half the cost of a Tom Delonge Squier Strat which was my inspiration!)

 

I have to thank Evil Knievel for his advice and helpw ith this cos without him I would of been stuck with a guitar in bits.

 

One nice and new strat fresh from the box (already cut the strings off)

 

Everything off that I didnt want or need:

 

Old rubbish tuners thrown away and new Wilkinsons installed:

 

My first attempt at soldering since I was thrown out of design tech class at school in 2003! (I couldnt actually solder so I taught myself as I went along last night!)

 

I dont like tremolos so I blocked it off with a nice piece of oak:

 

Had to get the local guitar shop to set it up for me as I cant do that yet. Its on my list of things to learn!

I only got pink because it was £30 cheaper than any other colour

 

I use a Marshall VS100 amp I do have a Line 6 spider 3 30w but I havent used it since i got the marhsall.

 

Oh and I also have an Epiphone SG guitar

[stevepeanut]

well done Antz, very quick turn around with that, wish our osf projects went as good as that!

[filicapri]

Marshall's are the best

[skatinrocker]

Marshall's are the best

 

line 6 head with a marshall cab will be my next amp

i currently have a line 6 spider 3 150 watt amp - its amazing! well worth the money

[antz]

Gorgeous!!!!

 

Im not sure i like the strat im used to my Epi SG so it feels all weird and it completely different to it. Suppose itll take some getting used to!

[filicapri]

Gibson and Fender are a big difference,I think that the fender plays easier than the gibson.

But not as easy as a bc.rich or a dean

Never played on a Jackson or a PRS,but think they are the greatest

[antz]

ive alwaysed wanted the sg. love it. love the feel, the weight, the way it plays. the strats just soemthing for fun and for £118.58 i cant complain.

 

its a backup beater guitar

[filicapri]

I dont love the weight of my les paul,way to much

Think 'retrocapri' Tony also has a Gibson

[zetecmk2]

i've got a jackson!!

one of the only basses i have got rid of was a warlock flourescent splatter!!

antz......well done

[filicapri]

i've got a jackson!!

 

[zetecmk2]

i've also got an early neck thru charvel from before jackson bought them, to be honest, it's a much better guitar!

[Copey]

its very...pink...lol

 

nice work though

 

hows it sound?

[antz]

sounds really good! It has a definate distorted punk rock feel.completely different to my SG.

 

might give it a go through my amp and miss out the Boss GT-10 pedal though and then compare its sound
