The Strat Thread

[Chocol8]

It's a bit of a shame that I couldn't get the SA

I have had good luck staining white plastics with plain old tea to get them to match. Takes a little more courage with pickups vs knobs but if the covers are removable and replaceable I would try it.

I hold Suhr in very high regard. I have five of their guitars (the Classic S pictured above, a Classic T, a Standard HSS, a Modern HH with the Gotoh 1996t, and a Modern HSH with the Gotoh 510). Based on my experience, I don't think you'd be disappointed if you bought a Suhr. It might not be to your exact taste, but it won't be a bad guitar. Also, their customer service and warranty support is excellent. If there is something wrong they will fix it.

From what I have read from those whom have tried both, the Suhr bridge is almost indistinguishable from the Gotoh 510 that they were using previously.

I keep circling back to an Andy Wood Tele!

Absolutely usable even for metal.

It’s the exact reason my Gilmour Strat became my #1, this is going into the Friedman BE-OD Deluxe pedal.

Those look like amazing guitars. When they announced the 10 year anniversary models earlier this year I absolutely loved this version:

I've been GASsing for the whiskey barrel version of the Andy Wood tele since I first saw one, but they never seemed to be available. I "settled" for the Shabat which is one my favorite guitars, but I still occasionally dream of that AWT.

EDIT: Of course I find one available now on Reverb.

I love my G&L. It’s a shame they went out of business. I have tried a few Fenders since getting this one but I always come back to the G&L. I love the bridge and the pickups, tuning stability is excellent, I don’t want to change a thing on it.

I’m definitely partial to his black one with the matte guard, but with two humbuckers and a floating trem I feel like it’s not really a Tele. He can make it sound like a Tele just fine, not sure I trust myself to do the same!

Serious Valley Arts vibes with these.

Serious Valley Arts vibes with these.

I saw an interview with one of the Suhr employees at the NAMM booth and they confirmed that this run was inspired by the Valley Arts guitars.
