Must admit, I always considered 'superstrats' as being punchy with humbuckers, maybe extra pickups, upgraded trems etc.  although I do love the minimalist look.

Basically, guitars, I like them fat, I like them tall, some skinny, some small, I got to get to know them all  :-D

I do so love a Whatnaut moment.

I have a mint Charvel Wildcard # 8 that has single pup EMG85, volume and kill switch, Floyd, ebony board to move on if of interest

You mentioned the NWOBHM, those guys slightly pre-dated the single pickup Superstrat era and many started out using customised regular Strats.

With that in mind, I always thought Joe Holmes was cool with his highly-modified '70s Strats (not sure if he got new necks made or somehow had a 22nd fret added)

That is feckin lovely

Modded strats are also cool, motorhead, angelwitch !!

Really nice - I agree that the NWOBHM thing would be modded strats - that example has a really Fast Eddie Clarke thing.  And of course Dave Murray was a modded strat player in the early days

Wowed for the pic, but would have wis'd what you wrote otherwise. I think that guitar's had a new fingerboard with 22 frets put on the original neck.

Could you wear this well?  None more pink.

Welcome to the 2020's.
Where you can admire another chap's splendid pink thing without fear of misunderstanding...

Agreed - that is very, very cool.

I think I saw him with DLR band on the little ain`t enough tour (if memory serves) probably playing this very guitar. You couldn`t actually hear it in the large cow shed in Shepton Mallet, but it looked very cool!

Anyone know if the neck on the LTD GL 200 MT is similar to a charvel ? Would love a tiger guitar . I had the Kramer the neck is a bit chunkier  but prefer charvel style necks.
