Molly the left white one is the malmsteen that I just Jake E lee'd and Oldarama the white one on the right is the samick strat I got off you

As much as I think that Malmsteen fella is about as interesting as frozen crap, that sig Strat you have of his looks like some serious fun to play.

Here's an attempt to drip feed better pictures of mine. No.1;

'91 'ish Strat Plus seeing daylight for the first time in a while

Not to distract from the guitar, but, tell me more about that amp!

'76 JMP, somewhat a man cave decoration... The JCM is the only one that makes it to band practice.. Both are 95watts more than I need, but they make me smile..

Rory Strat, about the only decent pic I have of it.

Still my number 1 at home, barely play anything else.

Feck, that's a lot of Strats. The 'Malmsteen' at the front. What's the story there?

The story starts in china .... its a FAKE that I got of oldie. Dropped some duncans in it and a brass block and it is now my favourite guitar....so much better than my real malmsteen at about 1/30th of the price

/me wants a shot of the hairshirt used while playing that strat

Thought that 22nd fret was a bit of a give-away. Cool that it's a good guitar despite being a fake though.

Here's my baby, MIJ 62 reissue circa 2004. Photo taken about 5 yrs back, not long after I got it. Deck railings since painted and nearly due for a repaint - don't use cheap fence paint.

My only real strat shortly after buying it in 1993. It was a 1973 USA something or other with Seymour Duncan active pickups and Kahler tremolo installed by the owner before the guy I bought it off.

Very quiet for recording, very stable tuning. The tone often seemed less dynamic than I would have preferred.

Having trouble uploading a pic.

I suppose it would be cheating to show ones I made for other people, but there are a couple I made for me first, and then sold without ever playing them outside of the usual testing and trying various options. Both to the same chap in Christchurch, I seem to recall.

First one is a super light western red cedar body with a no-TR kwila neck. Dimarzio Blue velvet pickups. Gold hardtail and Klusons.

The second one is a superstrat called Agent 99 (it was #99). One-piece blackwood body grown on a farm in Opotiki. Maple neck, rosewood fretboard. Originally had pickups wound by me, but they were swapped out and modified for another guitar and this one got a DiMarzio ProTrack, Fast Track and FRED also in white.

nice. The orange one in my photo's is NZ grown blackwood as well. Am in the middle of building a second on with a jackson style neck...also a long way off being done
