I really like that "off kilter" sort of thing, I guess it's a bit like me:-)Originally Posted by pablopepper
It is a good space, better than what I had before anyway (nothing), it's just a shame the other half is taken up with gym gear, it kind of limits my TAS (tool acquisition syndrome)
Hey dude, btw did ya get that PM on FB regarding those couple of plastic things, let us know what ya reckon and I'll hook you up, thanks mate.
Ah, nope I didn't get that. Odd. Can you resend it?

Not being a fan of strats, I think your new body design is great. If you could just get rid of the pointless "tummy cut" it would be a perfect guitar. (Leo Fender got it right the first time.)
Current:
GTH-1
Completed:
AST-1FB
First Act ME276 (resurrected curb-side find)
ES-5V
Scratchie lapsteel
Custom ST-1 12 String
JBA-4
TL-1TB
Scratch Lapsteel
Meinl DIY Cajon
Cigar Box lap steel
Wishing:
Baritone
Open D/Standard Double 6 twin neck
If I'm brutally honest the classic Strat shape doesn't do much for me either.
I wasn't too sure what I was gonna do, back contour-wise. You reckon just flag it altogether?
What about just a nice LP-esque roll right around the outside edge or something along those lines?
Nice setup Nige and your idea looks cool. Looking forward to another Bargey build

Why not eh Wokks, might as well try and be a bit different;-)
yeah I got a big enough ST collection so something different would be a nice change. You're getting good miles out of this build diary with the kit not arrived yet haha
My 2 kits just arrived, I'll open them up when I get home. Still not sure if one will be for me
We should have a competition, Mad Max builds an axe, no one sees the build diary then we got to guess what the kit originally was !

C'mon mate, I heard you only had about 40 guitars or something, it'd be bloody rude NOT to keep one.
Hehe yeah the thread is humming along ain't it! Shit, imagine what it's gonna be like when the kit actually gets here ....hold on....I'll just go have another look out in the mailbox.
EDIT:
