Show Us Your Guitar

I do like the symmetry of a double cut, just looks proper!

Tasty. Whats the Strat back there ? Not Japanese by any chance ?

I think it is an Eric Johnson--US made. My fave US Strat. But for some stupid reason I sold it.

I think of those double cut LPs as being closer to an SG than an LP. 24 fret neck and a much lighter body and a more 'open' tone. They are also better balanced than an SG, so easier to play.

I'll see your DC and raise you an offset.
I absolutely love this thing, it sounds fantastic.

And not to me which compounded the error.

I think I traded it back to Conway.

Great to see it again, glad it is still in the family.

After adding a Bigsby to my Coronet, I was inspired to add a trem back onto my Olympic.

After an enjoyable week of suffering through a hurricane and only getting power back this morning the Maestro trem arrived in the post. The guitar had one back in it's heyday but at some stage in its life it disappeared.
The new remake was only $60, fits in the existing holes looks the part.

Not the same. Mine is a Jap ST57. Had it for a few years now.

The search continues. . . .

Oh, so who has that EJ now, I wonder?

[jeremyb]

Calling it finished! Just had the frets sorted, some were lifting a little and others needed levelling, but here she is!

Specs:
Kramer Beretta Special (Indonesian made)
VegaTrem VT1 Standard
Mr Glyn's Cloud 9 pickup, 500k push-pull pot for series / parallel switching
Guyker chrome pickup surround
Graphtech Black Tusq XL nut
Guyker locking tuners

That looks great Jb!

How does she play?

[jeremyb]

How does she play?

Way better than me!

Its pretty great now, I love the neck shape, nice low action with 9s, trying to be period correct but I haven't played less than 10s for a decade now so thats weird... it feels fast and the pickup has some serious grunt, my AC10 was distorting heavily with the gain down on about a quarter
