I plan on building a custom modded strat like no other, but i wanna see others too so plz lets see what we can find here!!

Locking tuners (aged)
Body aged to match natural aging of the neck
wilkinson trem (aged)
Self designed and made compensated nut
Clapton midboost
2 vintage noiseless 1 dimarzio FS2
Tone pot opposed to TBX pot
Neck (rear) reshaped to fit my hand better.

All work done by me.


Been a real labour of love and the guitar isnt worth as much as the parts making it up let alone the labour hours cost.
I wouldnt be without it though.

That is a great looking guitar and I bet it sings. Thanks for sharing it.

I feel stupid cause im always posting this guitar in these type of threads, but here is one of mine:

(sorry to everyone who is tired of seeing my guitar )

Ryan that is one of the sexiest guitars I have ever seen.

I don't think I will tire of seeing that guitar. Love the custom neck plate.

WOW both guitars look great. I am going to do something similar with my strat w/locking tuners, and i'm changing out the standard nut and trees....i have Hot Lace Sensors in it already. Might do pearloid pick guard.

Ryan where did you get your Neck Plate. I would love to get something like that for my strat. Really adds a nice touch to it!

Ryan I knew it was coming.lol You know I want that ax and I never tire of seeing it. When you get tired email me.lol

Ryan,

I've never seen your guitar before, thank you for re-posting it. It is a beautiful guitar. The custom neck plate is a nice touch. I really love that beautiful natural finish.

I can't imagine how sweet that birdseye maple looks in person, I bet it's almost hypnotizing o_O

I can see why Ryan feels stupid for posting it, it always ends up taking over the thread for 10+ posts >_> As well it should, because that guitar is that awesome ^^

Niki: Thats fantastic work. Exactly how did you reshape the neck to fit your hand better? U to a C? or maybe an off-center shaping? Did you keep the shape uniform across the neck or change it as you got higher up. Between this and the Red Burst that Ceri's fixing up, you're getting some awesome gear at the moment (are you getting the burnt MIM back or is ceri keeping it?)

Ryan: That natural finish is fantastic. I'm a big fan of that finish (own two guitars finished like that myself). Great work

gmagliocco: Did you do the finish yourself?
