Second build! :O

cool, so how is the string action at 24th fret with the higher set bridge?

Well I must have measured it wrongly because the action was too low to begin with. Hence I also had to raise the entire bridge and the saddles. I could use a shim and may consider using a shim in future but I'll like to see how it holds for now.

Also because I had to raise the saddles higher the string break angle is a bit too much. Plus I'm using 10s on this as I only had them lying around. Hence I think these two factors result in quite a stiff feel. Bending isn't as easy and slinky as the first guitar. I may eventually have to shim the neck to lower the action if it still doesn't feel as fun with 9s.

Here's a jam showcasing the clean, OD and dirty tones. Man this guitar sounds great!


Apologies for the out of tune bends. I used 10s on this and I'm not used to it yet! Also sorry for the out of focused camera. I fixed this in the later demo videos to come.

Reminds me of "Since I've Been Loving You" in places.

and that superstrat lives up to the billing, great work Simon both in the building and the playing.

Another more comprehensive demo. The SD pickups sound great.

sensational demo Simon, I am impressed at the amount of different styles you can play. You have really been gifted with long fingers. Heard some SRV, Dire Straits, Hendrix, ZZ top and EVH (of course !) and many more riffs. You have the full package buddy great scratch builder and wicked player, this axe has all the tones and sounds any player would want or need !
How long have you been playing and where how did you learn to play all that stuff ?

Super playing, super demo, super strat!
