That's a beauty. Love the blue with rosewood and cream appointments.

Wasn't that long ago that I actually learned how to pronounce Wenge! Doesn't look like a 2 syllable word, but it's pronounced WHEN g*y.

Starting to really settle in with this somewhat strange take on a Strat.
- Looks mostly the part and the cracked poly finish and aged hardware are tastefully done.
- Pickups sound really legit but with a bit more gain to them.
- Super satin Wenge neck is slick and smooth as all hell.
- Got an almost baseball bat like profile but with a 14" radius on the board.
- Jumbo frets feel so freaking strange playing a Fender-ish guitar.
- Same, but to a lesser degree with the ebony board.
Was almost going to take it back for something more traditional but it gets more and more comfy with each session.

That’s a beautiful guitar. The NJ’s are slick as hell.

It's definitely more chunky down in cowboy chord country!

I like em at 1".
Guitar on the far right.
1" at the 1st fret and continuing all the way to the heel.
Custom built by Ron Kirn and he talked me into the baseball bat.
It suited the plank build (no tummy or forearm reliefs) and 3 saddle bridge perfectly. Guitar kicked solid ass.

That's a beauty! Big necks always feel more comfy to me and I don't have abnormally large hands either.

5'-9" and 160 lbs. with hands proportional. I don't do any Hendrix wrap around chords so it really felt comfy.
After playing it for the first 10 minutes I couldn't have imagined it any smaller. Perfect synergy on that build.
Sold it to a good buddy back east with the caveat I can buy it back any time......
After him having it a decade now there's no fucking way I'm ever getting it back!

NGD: Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional HSS
I found this used Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional HSS at a local shop for $599. Just a small ding on the top, a tiny crack in the neck pocket - didn't look like anything to worry about. The guitar was already set up and feels great to play, I don't feel like I have to adjust a single thing...
