Here's one I made earlier - 'Mojo' strat. Best strat I've ever played!

Yerrrrrrr! Cool strat, my favourite so far!

here's one of my babies- had it 19 yrs. Original Cunetto, srl 2248.

Very heavily flamed neck, super reliced, masterbuilt by the legend J Black.

Here's my mid 90's USA Schecter which, if we're still doing the assigning-female-names-to-guitars thing I should probably call Shelley.

It/she has a fairly flat compound radius neck (very much of its time I suppose - I'm used to it but I guess it's not something I'd go for if I was buying now), and the original tapped Monstertone pickups were replaced with Oil City Triple Blues, as I found I was only ever using the stock ones tapped, and was struggling to get enough twang out of them.

About time I added my frankenstrat to this. It's another triggers broom; the neck is from a Squier CV50s; the pickguard & pickups are from a different CV50s; I think the body is a Squier Affinity, but can't be sure - I picked it up on ebay for £20; the bridge is a SuperVee Bladerunner; it's got Gotoh height-adjustable klusons on for now, but I might ream the headstock swap those out for sperzels at some point; I've shielded the cavities, and replaced the squier electronics with decent parts in a master volume/tone setup.

My plan had been to fit a Filter'Tron in the bridge, with a black 1-ply scratchplate. However, I might change it to a HSS setup with a PRS Dragon 1 in the bridge. Either way, I want to move the volume control over a bit to more of a Suhr/Anderson location as they're always too close to the bridge for my liking.

Here's my recently acquired Classic 70s. It's lovely, but was an impulse buy and will soon be making way for another Tele, I think...

My tired out/gigged to death '86 MIJ strat.

Could do with the neck refinishing due to playing, but it's like an old friend so staying as it is

@Megii Lots of lovely strats here, but yours appeals to me the most.

Wow, shucks, thank you, that's terribly kind of you to say! $:\$ "> Some really beautiful looking strats on this thread, I was admiring your own Mojo strat as it happens - is that an ebony board it has? It looks a very appealing instrument I must say, and the looks are spot on.
