Pete Biltoft Vintage Vibe SP90 pups.

They're P-90 pickups shrunk down to fit in a Stratocaster pickguard...you get the girth and punch of a P-90 while retaining the sparkle and spank of a Strat...perfect!

...Hello, something odd has happened to this thread since last time I glanced at it. It sure as heck wasn't started by Nikininja - where have Mr Skirt-So-Plain and all his posts gone? Has there been more name calling and people getting banned and eradicated from the Forum again?

Hmm, how much you can miss when you go off to do other things for a while.

Anyway. Today I shall be longing for a Hotrod Red Strat.

Cheers - C

I don't know if he was officially eradicated or if he eradicated himself...again.

Several times he has removed himself and all his posts in some fit of emotion. Sometimes it was due to criticism or disagreements, and sometimes for reasons unknown.

Well, if it soothes your jealousy, my Fiesta Red Stratocaster has a rosewood fretboard...but it's still gorgeous, in my not-so-humble opinion. :lol:

Pish - who wants to soothe his jealousy? Let's AROUSE it! :D

Here's my Fiesta Red '57 RI, maple 'board and all:

Uh-hu? Fascinating. Not the first time Brad has helped someone do that. It sure makes nonsense of some threads though! :lol:

Still, I think we can probably manage to choose guitar colors on our own...

Thanks SA Just checked out his website listened to the files. Impressed. As you said more girth but gritty and cleaned up nicely. They would fit in my stocking for Christmas not to mention in one of my Strats. :lol:

My favourite guitar changes from week to week but for the past month or so my favourite guitar's colour is also my long standing favourite guitar colour. Crimson red transparent.

2000 American Deluxe
I need to take a better pic of this guitar.
You can't even tell it's transparent.
Oddly, even with the see through colour it's alder.
Either that or it's the weirdest looking ash grain I ever saw. :wink:

Well, here's the thing....

We now all have the option to cancel our account at any time without asking Brad nicely (or having him do it for you)...

Image

I've seen a few odd threads over the last couple of days and believe that's the reason. Makes me a little wary of being the first to post on a new topic as I really don't fancy being made out to be the author of some random thread. Worst case scenario being...

"I Hate You Stinking Forum Snobs" By Andybighair :?

Or even worse...

"I Re-wired My Strat And Now Its Broke" By Andybighair :lol:

BTW: My favourite colour would be natural with a satin finish...

Image

... Maple and walnut stripes would be nice too (they make you play faster) :D

Enjoy!

Andy

It might be because I gave Skirt-boy/girl a hard time for the crap he/she gave another forum member in the stickers on a guitar thread,Skirt-boy/girl decided to call out the guy after he only asked for opinions on putting a sticker on his guitar,calling him out to prove himself by posting his music for everyone to judge,and saying that not having a drummer in a band was stupid and that the other forum member was so underground that even the underground had never heard of him,blah,blah...
I told the skirt wearing wannabee that he/she had no right to do something like that since he/ herself was a rank amateur who could barely play two or three chords,by his/her own admission....he/she took offense and left I guess.....
So the person accused me of having a "freakout session". :lol: and went to dry their tears and wring their hands on a Skirt-So-Plain. :lol: :lol: :lol:

That's beautiful, Ceri...the white pickguard reminds me of the original pickguard on my beloved-yet-modified '62 reissue (pictured above)...I know there's a pic or two out there of her in her original state...gonna have to dig through the photo albums (with actual paper photos--remember those? :lol: )

The December CS wall calendar has a finish on a guitar described as
a Todd Krause Custom Sparkle Telecaster. First of all, it looks nothing like
a Telecaster. It's a Strat body shape and headstock, but the finish on it
is drop dead gorgeous.

Pete's great...awesome customer service, knowledge waaaay beyond my scope, and a nice guy, too.

His pups are super-well built, reasonably priced and sound great...I recommend them whole-heartedly!
