HOTT. Thank you.

Now, if you could mill a spring cavity and 2-post trem cutout into a 24-3/4" or 25" scale set-in aluminum slab my dreams would come true...

I am eagerly awaiting updates on the TREMOLO for #14.

I am a big fan of the Red-Silver Lace Dually humbuckers. The right mix of fudge and clarity for me, and lots of output, which I like. The Alumitones definitely sound like nothing, though that's kind of useful to me in a middle pickup. Good clear strummy sounds, good for fingerstyle. Not a 'classic' ...

It's an important thing to always remember with chambering is that while it may reduce weight and hence neck dive, aluminum is NOT that strong compared to many metals. Those Kramer necks being mentioned are more of a T-shape and known to have some problems bowing over the years, especially with tho...

I got to try an Aluminati Orion recently, and it felt great, FWIW. Still a bolt-on neck, so I assume it would be the same as if it were sold separately. The Aluminati neck is chambered, and probably lighter than the EGC bolt-on I have, judging by the overall guitar weight and balance. I don't think ...

A local Craigslister has a Fender Vibro-King up for a pretty good price. I am tempted to try the real-deal reverb and tremolo and simpler circuit immediacy thing. I generally like Mesa amps and lots of headroom and bells and whistles to mess with but who knows. Anyone have experience with the VK? Wi...

Never change, Orion.

I was saving the Endurneck and multi-scale questions for followup.

+1 for non-wood fretboards. I live in an arid climate and eventually get fret sprout on every wood fretboard that doesn't live in a case.

Like Tom said, I'd prolly just go with a little mixer. This guy has onboard effects, and a USB audio interface for the YouTubes and recording. Then take the main 1/4" outs > RCA adapter/cable > home stereo integrated amplifier/receiver. Or a basic power amp. We have an Alesis Playmate Vocalist ...

I have ordered a Strandberg. It may be the Earth Shoe of guitars, but I am stoked for the promised light weight and ergonomics.
