@ChrisC Cheers mate - yeah, I made a few custom mods inspired by Jerry Garcia's "Alligator" Strat, which I always thought looked cool. Just need to add some IH stickers now

@SamD beautiful looking guitars, regardless of the shenanigans going on with Fender lately.

I’ve always loved the aesthetic of those 70s style ash/maple strats.

Maple & ash.

Same guitar as the previous photo. But now, instead of then.

@SFMCfranky that flame maple luxurious

Thanks.
Single piece ash body too.

I’ve read that Leo wasn’t a fan of figured maple for necks. He thought it was inherently less stable. I haven’t had any problems with it. ‍️

Continuing the ash and maple theme, here’s my “Blackmore” style partscaster.
(It’s lefty with a mirror image decal)

@SamD how’d the jam go? (i know, it was several days ago)

SamD

@mikebarhoot It was good, thanks – although, after years of mainly acoustic gigs, I’m not used to playing at that volume anymore!

@WhiskeySandwich Guitar Center and Sweetwater in the US, and Andertons in the UK are showing these available on a pre-order. If you want one, it looks like they're out there.

Baritones are awesome. I have a Chinese made Squier Paranormal that was $400 and is WAY better than it has any right to be. It’s so wild how just going down a 4th mixed with the longer scale can completely change the way you play and come up with ideas.
