I just saw this on the local CL and had to say 'Huh?'

Funny thing is they make no mention of any modifications, just like this is your run-of-the-mill Strat.

Hello Strato,

Thanks for that link,
I'm still laughing.

I wonder what the three tiny holes
north of the bridge were for.

Cheers.

Hahaha!! That's freaking crazy! A Dropocaster.

That is disturbing ... It kinda looks like that funky shaped Ovation electric from the '70s. Remember that one?

Those are "tone holes."

Sorry, Jay, I forgot the smiley.



Only kidding.

I've occasionally looked at the curves of a Strat and wondered what it would look like without that horn on the right. Now I know. I can't decide whether I like it or not.

I had one of those, a Deacon (the upscale one with the mahogany body). Awesome player, but really weird active electronics. "Bloody comfortable," as STeve Marriot said in the ads.

Here's the best pic I could find of Russ Ballard's oddbal Strat with all the holes cut out around the upper edge. I thought iwas cool when I was a kid, and had at leasta c ouple of guys tell me it was to "improve the tone."
