Here's a pile of guitars. Note the Purple "Hannah Montana" disney by washburn short scale up on the couch. It's dumb and hilarious and it's actually pretty fun to play and I paid $10 for it. Cleaned up frets and setup, Electronics upgraded, TV-Jones Starwood Tele pickups. The Red Epiphone LP doublecut also has TV-Jones soap-bar mount T-Armond pickups, frets are pretty worn on that one. Strat is MIJ, was originally HSH, but the guy I got it from put in a Seymore Duncan JB and a warmoth pickguard. I changed to a different warmoth pickguard 'cause the other one was brown and the vol knob was too close to the danger zone.

Also my dog is there.

^ It says a lot about your guitars that it was only after I read your comment that I noticed your dog.

Not much of interest, although I love them all! Left to right; parts tele with no tone control, vintage SG, parts jazz bass, parts mahogany strat with no middle pickup, gibson style switching, no tone pot and P90 (single coil size) in the bridge, Gretsch 5220.

I made the strat to put an end to my guitar buying since it was what I always wanted and has little sell-on value due to being home made. This worked to an extent, although I have acquired the gretsch and SG since. Two guitars in 8 years is pretty good going for me...

The Gretsch is beautiful.

Any details on how you made the strat?

As in the above post, it is just a partscaster I made back in the bad old days, so memory is hazey. The neck is from an 80s US Fender strat I had for years, the body from a German builder which I reckon I just oiled. Hacked out holes for electrics, reckon hardware probably Wilkinson. Front pickup is Wilkinson hot s/c, rear is one of those expensive fancy brands that I cannot remember. P90 in sc format.

Has a fat finger sustain snake-oil clamp on the headstock. Christ knows why!

Nothing interesting; I'm not skilled in that department!

Hi everyone, nice to be back. I have a challenge for you: can you guess what colour the 1985 MIJ Tele I just bought is? (disregard the strings, I was midway through a teardown)

Olympic White?

Olympic White, i'd guess.

thank you contestants, the correct answer is of course Sonic Blue Like you I figured it was white, then after stripping it down I saw a splash of blue in the neck pocket and realised. No smell and it's perfectly clean tho. Never seen a poly finish age like this.
