“I can build exactly what I want at my own pace and smear my own DNA all over everything.” Eww. Also, what kind of "review" doesn't say a single word about how the guitar sounds and plays? But on the other hand, I do think it looks cool.

RAWK! Awesome!

I would just go as light as you can get.

Yikes, a 10-lb Strat (without hardware?) sounds way too hefty to me. Strat bodies can be called lightweight if they're under 4 lbs, and the necks tend to be more than a pound lighter than the bodies. People tend to shoot for the 7.5 to 8 lbs total weight fully assembled range.

Depends on whether you interpret the image as looking at his front (right-handed) or from his back (left-handed). Kinda like this optical illusion: spinning girl.

Thanks. Still grounded at the claw! Good, I only mentioned it because black hardware sometimes needs to be dremeled at the grounding point to make sure you have metal-to-metal contact. I learned that with my black Stetsbar mounting base.

Looks cool. Make sure your strings are still grounded.

Nastiness is in the eye of the beholder, but Gaga can sing.

When I was signing up for my first ever non-school e-mail address back in the mid-'90s, all the permutations of my real name were taken, and having a number tacked onto the end seemed so dehumanizing. So I just brainstormed for a memorable string that wasn't taken. This pun popped into my head. I thought about using it as a band name, but the right situation never came up.

Purty!

Happy birthday, Chris! And um, they're not twins?! Seriously?

That's my take too. They had a lot of headscratchers, but they also had some honest to goodness kickass songs.

Kahler, man.

Wow, awesome find! I agree with the idea that this is a perfect opportunity to go with a finish that you can't normally get on this model.

Wow, 3 months turnaround time is awesome!

Do you have any pics of your past builds?

Wow, much improved!

Way to pull through!

I may be imagining things, but sometimes it seems that polishing frets brightens up the tone too.
