Oh dear, oh deary, deary me. I have for some time now, wanted a Fender Stratocaster, but as cost is an issue, I bought a cheaper, Mexican Telecaster instead.... that was back in February/March. I came up with the idea, a few days ago, that I could afford a Stratocaster - if I were to buy it 'bit-by-bit'.
So, I am undergoing the task of building my own 'customised Stratocaster', as I am building it, I can omit fatures I don't want, or include new features that aren't included on Fender Stratocasters.
The guitar will be kinda based around David Gilmour's famous 'Black Strat' seen last during his 2006 On An Island world tour. The guitar has been modified a great deal since Gilmour purchased the instrument back in 1970, in New York. It now features 3 customised Seymore Duncan pickups, and thinner, black scratch-plate, a maple fingerboard and a nice little button allowing both neck and bridge pickups to be used simaltaniously.
For my project, I will need to aquire a soldering iron as cheap as possible, to allow more money to go into guitar parts, the body is, as yet, unidentified, but it will most certainly be black. The neck will probably come from Warmoth, and will be maple with a maple fretboard, and probably have mother-of-pearl inlays, shaped as either diamonds or ovals, I havn't decided yet, but the neck stage is a long way off yet.
Right, that's enough for now... there's no way of telling when my next entry will come. But I will post updates on my MySpace and various other guitar-based websites that I frequent.
All in all, you're all just bricks in the wall, GoodPIE!
