OUCH!

We've spoken about this one. I would have gone for a.)ebony board b.)solid maple
Some how the rosewood doesn't do it for me.

I'll confess this much....(and that's about as far as you're gonna ever get me to go in that department...but I know you'll pray for me anyway), :lol: anyone who attempts both your website and Alains at the same sitting is going to need a sedative when they're done. 8)

Ok Doc, well yes, ummmm, the Rosewood..... some times i build with what I have and that was my last Strat Plus neck without tearing down a completely mint guitar to get another one (And I have been known to do that! LOL!) Have you seen what Strat Plus' and even Plus necks have been going for on ePay? Wow..... but agree, Maple or Ebony would be my choice as well for that much black!

Please explain "Alains" to me, I am a bit slow. Even my dictionary and Google did not help me on this one, except: "étaient un groupe de nomades Scythes. Les Alains forment un peuple scythique, probablement originaire d’Ossétie (Alanie : le pays des Alains, dans le Caucase). D'ailleurs les Ossètes d'aujourd'hui se présentent comme les descendants directs des Alains."

And my French is not that good! :? I "confess." :wink:

Not to worry. At this point it's a no never mind really, but your concern is appreciated.

The closest representation of a Strat Ultra, would be the Set-Neck Strat that the Customshop did in the early nineties.

They are amazing and if you can find one or have the paitence, they are an awesome guitar :)

Agreed with others- a 2011 custom deluxe with maple top and H/S/S is the nearest modern equivalent.

Still won't have the Ebony board or switching versatility, or noiseless pickups though of the Ultra.

I have a 91 ultra too, in grey burst. Had it since new, lovely!
