It's aliiiiive - my "stickerstrat"

Post by Tsuken »

Righto - I thought I'd post some pics of my latest creation ;) It started life as some Japanese (buggeration only knows what brand) strat copy, which I bought from a mate for $50 to throw around the stage during "Wild Thing" back in about 1989 8)

I subsequently began to cover it in stickers and glued on pictures and scribblings with twink, and all sorts. It's a pos, so it's been sitting totally stripped of electronics and neck for a long long time, until I recently decided to go the whole hog - after I visited http://www.stickerchick.com (very cool; very not work safe ;) ).

So, after a few more stickers, a pickguard from Ash, the Seymour Duncan Hot Rails I had lying around, and the neck from a Rockson dinky strat I bought many moons ago, it's aliiiiive. It badly needs a setup, but it sounds fairly good, for a guitar that was seemingly made out of a front door. :P

Not as much difference as having 3 pickups though eh Mr DeLonge?

It's only the first of two DeLonge models ;) My Warlock's lost two pickups, and just needs a paint job and a setup 8)

One pickup = more pickguard space for stickers 8)

think of the worst sunburst paintjob you've ever seen. Then stop thinking about that and think about someone painting the edge of something black, and the middle a pale dirty orange. ;) That's getting close. Well, it wasn't that bad (I think - I can't really remember to tell the truth), but it was definitely not good.
