What colour is this?
Answer: A very cool colour for a Strat.
I seem to remember voting against it when it was in the tin.

I was wrong.

It's with Grant for a new neck and a set-up. Then all finished!

After some time with Grant, a diagnosis of a fucked neck was made. So on went a surprisingly chunky one that he had floating around. She's back and plays great. Sounds absolutely raucous. Will put a few recordings up when I get a chance.

Looks great. And what an awesome sounding body. Very resonant, With a great chimey top end. The neck is an AllParts ‘62 special order in aged nitro with the beefy profile and 7.25” rad. Great match.

Me too.

I have the same kind of neck, but it's on a gold flake tele.

Recorded a few examples. Partscaster --> Flint --> Iridium. No OD/boost pedals, the P-90s hit the front end hard enough! First three are neck / both / bridge, then bridge digging in a little harder. Then some examples of bridge with a bit more gain, then middle, then neck. Final one just shows the Volante doing it's spacey stereo thing.

That's a fine sounding instrument.
