Yeah, for sure Joe's strats/Charvels were an inspiration for this! Mine will be different though in that I'm going to keep the 5 way in the same place, I'll keep the normal strat controls for tone and volume and I'm going to use a NOS Floyd with no fine tuners that I got from Steve Ripley in conjunction with Sperzel locking tuners - no floyd locknut. I think that will stay in tune great... I'll post updates...Aidanspaghetti":10bslbyh said:Are you looking at a certain mr Joe Holmes for inspiration Steve?!
I would kill for a nice flooded strat like that with a large h/stock
Can't wait to see the end result!
Yes, me too. The Music Zoo Charvel profile is my favorite and it is fat and 1 3/4" nut. Pretty much what I ordered here...Shawn Lutz":16fvz9lx said:sounds like a cool build. Musikraft makes great stuff, love their necks and a build to you own neck specs as I like fat profiles.
Hopefully the treatments I'm having will allow me to do it justice!jcmlespaul":27zvj5nv said:Looking forward to hearing you play it
I got two NOS ones (never used) of them from Steve Ripley. He had them sitting around from when he was at Kramer. Floyd Rose re-issued them for awhile, but they don't seem to be making them anymore...tripstan":2xm96v1e said:where did u source the OG floyd trem?
Thing looks sick!
I believe that it will stay in tune great with just the locking tuners and the Floyd... I've got a Franky clone I built that has locking tuners and a Callaham term and it stays in tune great. I think the Floyd will be even better...thenine":29w76mfb said:holy moly - looks killer! Just wondering about that no lock nut / no fine tuners,...
Shawn Lutz":1avu1e2e said:That is going to be killer. Neck looks awesome and I'm a fan of the large headstocks.
Shawn Lutz":1avu1e2e said:that is a pretty hot bridge pickup....I have been on a lower output PU's of late.
Shawn Lutz":1avu1e2e said:This makes me want to break out my beat up naturally reliced 70's strat that I routed for humbuckers myself with a hammer and chisel as a dumb teen neck needs a refret.
Shawn Lutz":1avu1e2e said:logo police? eff em and let their panties get knotted...I have 6 or so Musikraft necks that I logo'd with Charvel logos on my replicas, as long as you don't sell them as originals its all good
The RTM is Warren DiMartini's sig pickup. Something like a JB I guess, we'll see...JiMB":28q64h1k said:That's gonna be cool!
Love the non-fine tuner Floyd and what's the scoop on the Duncan RTM pickup?
I recently had my ash strat body refinished in a 3 color burst and got a Warmoth CBS strat headstock/maple neck to go with it.
I had the body made around '83 so it's cool having it resurrected.
Cheers,
Jim
