More of Buttercup

Wow. Gold hardware, black hardware and that scratchplate against the colour of the wood have made this look stunning. I love it!

Thanks Lawry.

I am pretty happy with the way 'Buttercup' looks. (They all have to have names)

Still got a ways to go with set up, neck relief atc, and a dodgy frickin 5 pos.

Getting sustain in the order of 10 seconds on the 'D' string on the 12th fret via the Humbucker.

Can't wait till it's really finished

Cheers PK

A very unique looking strat. The triple humbucker setup is a great idea in my opinion.

Thanks Pablo.

I am always trying to come up with a guitar that is good looking, as well as dynamic in it's ability to produce a nice tone.

Cheers PK

5pos replaced. Must have missed an earth as I now have a power load of Power hum, except in the middle pos..... huummm.

Nice! I've been tempted to experiment with ditching the stock white 3-ply pickguard for a a tortoiseshell, "lava" or similar - and your Buttercup only encourages me to investigate further!... But I have other build ideas to investigate (this hobby is proving rather addictive - and probably expensive... ;-) )

Stunned silence from me :P

Hi Quiety,

have a look on ebay and you can find tons of preloaded scratch plates for Fenders and a few others. for Gibson's there is only looms. Or you can buy all the bits and roll your own. the difficulty is that you usually have to fault find your hand built looms. Mine seems to have a loose wire if I turn it up one way it goes off turn it the right way up and it works. so now I have to pull it appart and see if it's the pickup or a stressed wire somewhere.

Is Stunned Silence good or bad DB?

The loom inside this is not from the kit.
This was off the Black pearloid guard
