Working on a number of projects simultaneously.
The Alder body on this Strat will be painted Silver!
I will be using Chrome Tuners, Maple Fretboard with black MOP markers. The neck is also Maple. This is a string through the body bridge configuration. Mirror Pickguards will be installed. A 5 way switch, silver controls.
A Clapton Mid Boost will be added.
In the bridge I will be installing Di Marzio Injector and in the Middle pickup position a DiMarzio Area 67 pickup. The neck will house a Fender Fat 50's pickup/</p>[/<\\/p>[]<\\/p>/]</p>/.

Gavmeister you do have a few new projects. I've started a similar colour with mirror pickguard

Gavin1393

yeah, I saw your build. This one is a full tribute to Keith Urban's "silver" strat except that it will have three pickups....unless I can find a mirror company who can cut a 2 single core template for me...

Cool! I need the standard Strat (Mirror) Pickguard without the neck pickup. Please let me know if you can do it and the cost. Thanks mate!

Here is Keith's guitar below.

Easy as. Just sent you a friend request on FB.

Awesome!!! Now I get to hear the difference a middle pickup will make without the extra magnetism of the neck pickup and without a gaping hole there to achieve it!

will be a good experiment Gav. Pablo's pickguards are awesome

You doing the silly tele neck on it as well?

Gavin1393
10-09-2014, 02:34 PM
No....too much of a purist in that respect....Tele's get a tele neck and strats get the strat neck....

Unfair, KU is actually a pretty good guitarist

We need a silvery Dingotone - I even have a name - Ghostgum....

You will have to forgive DB Stan. As a bassist he has never heard of Keith Urban, but Gerry Flowers, well, DB thinks this dude is the only reason some kiwi born Aussie songwriter living in Nashville, married to some hot movie star has had a string of country rock hits...

crikey DB a 12 month beer ban for Gavmiester ?

on the bright side that means there's more beer for the rest of the naughty room haha

Brendan

Wokks, I think there's more than 2 KU builds en route. Looks like Gav's looking at a lifetime ban at the moment.

@ Brendan, is that the news hey, is Gav building 3 KU axes ?
oh well Gav can keep me company in the naughty room as I'm pretty sure I got life in there !

Gavin1393
13-09-2014, 11:53 AM

Brendan

Yep - life. That sound - DB's installing bunks.

{Looks around}

Other than AJ who doesn't appear to be in the naughty room right now, all are present and accounted for....even DB is making new friends here. Wokka looks run out on his feet serving beer....and yes, there is AJ! he is outside of the naughty room temporarily as he is currently making the pizza. :)

Wow.... That timber hider......errrrrrrmm...... pickguard looks sensational on the silver.
Nice job Gavmiester and Pabs, if ever I need a timber hider custom made you are da man :)

wokkaboy

pickguard looks great Pabs/Gav, I got an identical one cut by Pabs for my chrome strat but with 3 pup slots !
Yeah Gav I could use some backup pouring beers in the naughty room, too busy to consume enough myself.
DB there's no timber to hide on this build, its all covered in paint !

come on Fretty there must be a DB banned product you have used or shopped at a Green or Blue shed ?
I'll find that hard to believe. The banned list is a mile long hahaha

Licensed Fender Necks...and an intruder!
Danocaster is the Tele shape, Silver and Blackie are the Strat shaped headstocks.

Nope, only two pups (just like KU's) and wired with a 4 way Telecaster set-up.

mmm nice work Gav, I think you've inspired me to rewire my Fender Tele with a 4 way switch....

What is that acoustic up the back? The timber is magnificent!

That would be a $420 set of AAAA grade Blackhearted Sassafras! Gorgeous Aussie tonewood!
