Oh yeah...I've been waiting for this baby for the last 2 months or so. Matt from 30th St did an amazing job with this axe! It's got a nitro finished Alder body, Brazilian rosewood board, medium-jumbo frets, Duncan 78/EVH in the bridge and Dimarzio Blues in the neck/middle. It plays like a dream and sounds incredible. The pickups really sing!!!

Looks completely badass! How's it compare to the CS?


The neck is a tad bigger, and it sounds MUCH fatter. The pickups sounds great both clean and dirty, but don't have quite the same chimeyness and vintage vibe that the fat 50's in my CS Strat do...
 
Was this put together from old parts or did you have it relic'd on purpose?

Looks killer. :rock:

The neck and body are from USACG and the parts are all Fender replacement parts. Matt and his buddy from 30th St. did all of the relicing, fretwork and assembly
 
I have known Matt for years, we grew up together in NY and I used to work with him. He knows what a good axe is and he does great work. Congrats!
 
I can't love a humbucker in that bridge. I know it plays badass but that guitar needs the SSS setup.
