Check this out.

Loads of different styles, and lefties available.

That looks like a win idea, however I wouldn't be very surprised if the end product was fookin shite sounding.

[Sextent]

Thing is if it was you could replace the pickups later if they weren't up to muster. There's plenty of positive feedback from customers but that could all be made up pish I suppose.

There's some pics of one's people have done.

If you're just going to replace the pickups anywai, why not just buy a cheapo ready-built guitar in the first plaice.
I'm assuming the rest of the parts in that kit probably aren't any better than those on a cheapo guitar

You could change them if they sounded pish. they might not sound pish tho'

I refuse to take notice of a review written by an obvious moran.

:lol::earl:

Good point.

[Proper Bo]

they do look nice tho'.

[Proper Bo]

*The guitars, not morans.

[Snee]

Some morans do.

[Sextent]

:lol:

Indeed. I suppose it's just down to how much time you want to put into getting the finish right. That's the thing about cheapo guitars. They do things like putting on one thick coat of lacquer, or whatever, rather than building it up to get a finish.

You also have the advantage of totally customising the look. which is quite cool. Especially for you lefties with the limited availability of stuffs.

I do like the idea of them, like, I just don't believe they'd actually be any good for owt but looking at.
Not all of us can afford to collect guitars just to line the walls of our music lounges:no:

Next one's going to be a strat, haven't decided on colour yet.

Thoughts.

[Proper Bo]

I think they look best in black, it's a classic, like.

[Wizard Scuff]

That's what I was thinking too

[Proper Bo]

Mine's black, like, tho' it's not a proper strat (it's a strat squier)

[Proper Bo]

yeah, that busyedit picture didn't wurk until i copy/pasted the address. I definitely think black is the way to go (or possibly red if you're feeling a bit fruity).

[Wizard Scuff]

With white plate or all black

[Proper Bo]

Mine has a white plate, tho' I've also got a wank tanglewood strat copy (also black) which I painted the plate black. Both ways look good, like.

edit: tho' the tanglewood has a dark neck which works better with the black plate.

I've just managed to find out thro' wiki that it's from 1989 (according to the serial number). That'd explain why the wiring inside is fucked, like.

[Wizard Scuff]

I like the white plate, it just looks right to me.
