NGD - ADH's Stratele
Hey! Haven't posted here in far too long.
Just wanted to say ADH's Stratele is still in the family. I've had a thing for it ever since I saw the build thread years back (I looked but couldn't find it), so I'm pretty stoked! It's gonna take a bit to get it up and fully functioning, but here's what she looks like now...

Re: The Stratele lives!
Yeah, I dig it! Of course the final verdict comes when it's up and playing. So far so good though...

Re: NGD - ADH's Stratele
And...it's all done! It feels very different to anything else I have (it's taking some getting used to), but it sounds phenomenal. Like, jaw-droppingly good.
I'd post a pic, but the jerks over at Photobucket won't let me
Oh well

Ok, that didn't work. How do I post an image here using Imgur?

I right clicked on the image, " copy image address " then used that between the 'Img' brackets provided here.
Dude, that looks gorgeous, by the way! How's it sounding?

Re: NGD - ADH's Stratele
Ha, thanks! The sound is literally the best thing about it. I took the neck, pickups and harness from another Tele, and this kills it sonically. I don't know whether it's the wood or the Bigsby, but it sounds great! Still getting used to the way it plays though.
It's funny, between this and my blue Strat, I've completely swung from thinking the pickups were the most important factor in the way a guitar sounds to thinking it's the body, neck and hardware. I replaced pickups in the blue Strat a million times, and could never get what I wanted. Then I replaced the saddles and trem block with new ones from Callaham, and BOOM! With this one the body and the bridge change, and it's the same thing...
