Modded strat

Thought people might enjoy a few strat pics. I got this for 100 bucks. Put 140 bucks worth of hot rails in it. Scalloped the neck. And an electrical engineering student I know wired it with the Hendrix schematic.

I've had this guitar for about 5 years. Got when I had a hell of a lot more money to spare. I love to play it. Has a very, very metal sound to it. Those rails rock.

Notice the tele switch. "Genuine Fender parts"... according to my tech. Ha! And since it's the Hendrix wiring, the selected p/u in the photo is the neck p/u.

Dude, I hate being poor. I've said it a million times. Before I got this, I was pricing out a warmoth body and neck, along with the necessary electronics and hardware. I couldn't afford that stuff! A guy from warmoth suggested I get a project strat and do it myself, which I did.

I wish it looked better, but as you say, it plays and sounds really nice - like gravy.

I hate theaestetics on scalloped necks. All of them.

top 4 is uaully pretty nice on 24 fret necks though.


Love your guitar, Ancestor. I have a stacked 'bucker on my strat too an it's awesome.

i don't think anyone likes being poor

not bad, though, for a poor man's guitar

I have a radical idea. The door swings both ways,
we could reverse the particle flow through the gate.
We'll cross the streams.

This guitar did play awesome


Glory and praise to Thee, Satan, on high,
Where Thou didst reign, in Hell where Thou dost lie,
Vanquished, silent, dreaming eternally.
Grant that my soul some day rest close to Thee
Under the Tree of Knowledge which shall spread
Its branches like a Temple overhead.

They are some of the highest output pickups made. So, if you like metal, they're good. I would probably go with something else if you are looking for a "strat" tone.

yeh. Im not sure exactly what I am looking for. Haha. I think im doing HSS, so the bridge is gonna take care of the metal tone hopefully, with the middle doing the strat thing, and the neck doing the lead/smooth lines.. ala Satch or so (hopefully, thats the idea)

Is the hotrails good for nice lead playing, like smooth and silky? or is it hard and chunky?
