dont locking tuners make your string go out of tune?

Huh? Why would they? They simply lock the strings in place mah... It's the same as the FR nut... All Fender American Deluxe guitars, EBMM Guitars all come with locking tuners. My JP6 comes with locking tuners, and it's the most stable flaoting bridge guitar I have... more stable than a floyd rose!!!

ChanMin:

Good stuff... The USACG body is interesting. I'm planning on ordering a Quilt top, bound and chambered Mahogany body from them. Along with an Ebony board, SS frets and flame maple neck. heheh... should be killer. 8O

We should bring our strats together and try sia... But I swear, you come near my strat with a screwdriver, I'll kill you... :wink:

whitestrat: sure thing man .. where u at? we should amass like a few strat lovers and just try each other's strats... then take a total guitar family pic!

 

[rimuel]

considered ahving a strat meetup? :lol:

 

[ChanMin]

technically..you really dont need any lighter fluid... you just light an open flame over the body... or light a match and leave it on the body...

give it like
5 seconds...

and FOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHH
remember to leave your windows open and the fan on full blast.
this is for a polyurethane body... for nitro.. i dunno .. maybe whole goes POOF and hendrix appears through the smoke to bestow you 4 numbers.

 

[NewGuy]

WHoa... stunning guitars you have there. Where did you get the flame neck?

 

[FPaulLes]

How do you sand the finish off? By using sadpaper?

 

[KennethC]

chanmin, hehe I know, that's why I chose your place for my previous guitar-porn-shoot!

I agree...strat lovers meet up. but I only have one. Still, a strat lover.

Goose, muahaha, I love that Monterey Pop strat man. Why'd he have to burn/RELIC it. hee

 

[rimuel]

meet up.have a soft strat family picture

 

[DjThugs]

[Indigo_blues]

VERY VERY NICE 8O 8O

and ouch i saw the prices of the usacg prices it was in USD 8O so looks like i got to get a neck in sg, any place selling good ones?

 

[ChanMin]

both the flame maple necks are from Warmoth.

latest one i ordered from Warmoth... flame maple quatersawn, SRV back contour, brazilian rose wood , stainless steel frets, side truss rod adjustment.... finished in clear poly.


cost around 450 usd + 50usd shipping..reach here still kanna 7% GST.

And this is the showcase model... meaning its a webspecial. i think total custom order is more expensive. USACG is good , but pricey... unless you find a nice piece on the webspecials..i think its gonna hurt your wallet alot.

but the end result? total bliss
