Another "Show Us Your Strats" Thread

[Torren61]

After all the recent NGD threads and the pics that go with them, I thought I'd start another one of these threads so i can see your Strats and I can let you meet my significant others.



Starting from the left is my partscaster. I really don't remember the body wood but the neck is pau ferro. The pickups are Eric Johnsons and the electronics is a MojoTone solderless.





Next is another partscaster I put together. The parts list is huge and in my other thread about building a Rosewood Jimi Hendrix clone (Fender made a Rosewood Tele for George Harrison and a Rosewood Strat for Hendrix but Hendrix died before he got his).



Next is my '97 Custom Shop 1960 Relic.



Next is a 2005 American Deluxe. Montego Black. All original.



And finally, Uncle Fester. Another partscaster I built. Spalted maple over alder with a Japanese '68 reissue maple neck. Old Fender single coils and a Gibson T-top humbucker in the bridge.



Show me yours!

All the partscasters look great man. Really nice work.

This is the most recent pic I have of the strats as a group. The white one with the matching headstock (far right) has been adopted by @Murdog but it will always have a special place in our family too.

My first strat that means more to me than any other strat ever could.

This one's a partscaster I built while recovering my last knee revision in 2019.

1994 black label Fender Squier Series set up with Atheris Innovations modular pickguards.

@heltershelton have me the body on this partscaster and told me to do something cool with it. I had @Bodean make a set of pickups especially for it. I also set it up with the modular pickguards.

This is the Bullitt Mustang Strat. A partscaster I built a couple years ago. I had never seen P90s with a Floyd before.

A cheap 5150 inspired partscaster. The most expensive parts are the Pariah Pickups Pasadena Black humbucker and the OFR. Without them I think I have about $70 in it.

This one is half strat. I built it when everyone else wanted to call it firewood.

I love that Deluxe! Bet it sounds killer.

I've got three...




Although the blue one looks like this now:

One Strat, a '66 I've had for 40 years. Now building a lightweight model to match my Tele. I'm using the same finish but lighting makes them look different.

Lol, love the furry guitars. I have the matching amp...

Your partscaster has filled me with GAS. I used to have a Billy Corgan Strat that I miss dearly… nitro finish, unbelievable neck.

This is my only Stratocaster right now. As much as I miss having a hardtail, I do love the sound of a traditional Strat. The springs give it a natural reverb even when unplugged. I love strumming a chord and putting the trem cavity next to my ear. It’s lovely.

My two S-type builds. I also have another HH project underway.

Funny this thread brings back some memories. @Torren61 I had that 2005 deluxe, same colour but all single coils and the S1 switching.

Traded it off for @ETucc for that exact Billy Corgan strat. After a few weeks I started to regret the trade. The Corgan strat did feel really switch but that deluxe was just on another level. Tried to get the deluxe back and offered cash on top. No dice. I actually regret letting go both now. That Corgan I’d probably appreciate now since it is different to a lot of Strats tone wise.

I’m down to these two and so far they are they keepers

Heck yeah, they're keepers! I'm a sucker for sunburst guitars but I like the white one, too.

My only Strat is an American (95) first year, Buddy Guy model. Buddy autographed it for me back in 2002.
