Here's Prototype #4 built for Tone Merchants. Just a couple pictures I took with my phone before delivering. Olympic White over sunburst nitro, compound radius fretboard, real clay dots, Motor City pickups.

Are your guitars customizable...for example slapping a Floyd on this guitar? Better question, do you build custom guitars?

thanks! Yes, no problem putting a Floyd on one of these, that's actually what were building on the next batch. This Chopper Series is all about taking the vintage thing and tricking it out with options never done before.

This one has the new Black Iron. Which is around 14k with an A2 magnet....I love this pickup. It's like a higher output Blackbelt.

What's the output of the singles? Any problem matching up levels? I just got a 2DBB from you last week and LOVE it!

Cool! The 2nd Degree BB are great, would be a good fit on this guitar too. I'm actually not sure of the output of the singles, but I know it's in the vintage single coil range. No problems matching up at all. Higher output pickups are not actually louder, they just distort and compress the signal more. So many times, a lower output pickups actually sounds a bit louder because of less compression, more note separation and more high end.

Sitting here watching Motley Crue live on Palladia and Mick has a relic Strat with the Floyd very similar to this one.

Funny that you say that, the Mick Mars Strat is the inspiration for the next build. Floyd, HSS, aged and maple neck. This one had a tortoise pickguard on it originally, but the guys at Tone Merchants wanted green. With the tortoise it looked a lot like the Mick Mars, which is what I was kinda going for.
