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,

that is a pretty hot bridge pickup....I have been on a lower output PU's of late.
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.
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
NICE!Onzabar":ymwscb6s said:

try the Lynch Super V bridge pup, you will LOVE IT!!! It is easily one of the best pups I have played, and I have tried MANY!! Its a high output pickup, but acts and feels like a mid output pup. But, when using it with high gain, it ROARS!! I have played the DeMartini bridge pup, and I thought the Super V was better in every way. The story I have heard is that when they were creating the JB, that the pickup that became known as the Super V was the runner up prototype to become the JB. Someone at Duncan told Lynch about it, and he tried it and loved it and it became his signature pickup. I have had Super V's in maple bodies, alder, basswood, basswood with maple top, and mahog with maple top, and it sounded great in EVERY body!!! Just thought I would mention it, sorry for the rambling paragraph on the positive attributes of the pick up.

It is a killer neck! More pics once I get the thing back from MJT and put it together...david simpson":2yiugphc said:Love that neck!!

Will do - the pickguard was supplied by me though - they just relic'd it...Jet Troop":x0pm6fv7 said:sah5150":x0pm6fv7 said:Here is the final aging of the body with the aged plastic parts. This will be shipped back to me today. MJT did a GREAT job - can't wait to build it!

Looks great. Let me know what you think of the pickguard and covers. I am having MJT paint a body for me right now and I am thinking of buying the plastic also. Again I think it looks great!
