Need to make room for a new axe I'm GAS'ing for. These guitars are in very good condition. The Strat is a 2002 American Deluxe, locking tuners, originally SSS. I modded it to HSS with a Duncan Custom Custom, two SSL3 Hots, 250k pots, Wilkinson trem (5 springs), pickguard, jackplate, MOP top knobs, and Schaller strap locks. It's in cherry condition and ships with a hardshell case -----------SOLD

The Schecter C-1 Classic is modded with cream pickup rings and Schaller strap locks - also in in very good condition, with a SKB hard shell case (EDIT...SOLD)

The Dot is also in great condtion, with Schaller strap locks and a SKB hard shell case (EDIT...MUCH better pics of it on post 22): SOLD!

Nice looking guitars Plank. I'm sure they'll find good homes soon. I'd like to add a 335 style one day, but it'll have to wait.

Good luck with them.

Ditto Plank. Timing is bad for me, but adding one of your guitars would be a good thing.

I figure I would post here. I mentioned yesterday that I had a guitar on the way, well sitting next to me as I type is the Strat. The picture doe not do the guitar justice. This guitar is simply beautiful in appearance and sound. It plays so easily, feels extremely comfortable and I'm going to wrap it up so I can go play.

Oh, for those that don't know Plank, I just wanted to let you know that he is a pleasure to do business with. Straight shooter, what he describes is what you get. Fast delivery and has the guitar on its way when he says it will be shipped.

If you have an interest in the remaining guitars, don't hesitate.

thanks guys. I wish you could see how much nicer it is in person. I don't think I could be happier. Well, maybe if Plank would have sent me two guitars for the price of one:D

I initially had an interest in the Dot to go along with my existing Dot. Since I wasn't sure if I will be getting the MIM, I couldn't pass up the American Strat. He did a nice job on the mod and the guitar sounds great through the AD30VT, but a hear the cry for a tube amp increasing in volume:rockon:

Ahhhhhhhh, GAS

There are two things wrong with it:

1) Plank sent me an e-mail when he shipped it and said I will really like it - wrong, I love it. Plank, next time be honest with me.

2) the drawback, now I know I went without a Strat for far too long. I can't believe how easy this thing plays, and the sound!!!:drool:

Looks like a fine piece of machinery. It's hard to tell from the pic above, does it have a translucent or solid finish?

From what I've learned on this forum so far - you didn't actually buy that guitar until we see fresh pics. (is that how it goes?)

It's translucent, very much like my SG in color and finish. Stayed up to about 1:00 playing it, a bit past my normal sack time. Arrived at work a little late, but ends up hardly anyone is here - ice in some sections of Northeastern Ohio has some roads clogged. Might have to leave early today:D

Yeah, wouldn't want that Strat to get cold now, would we?:rolleyes: ;)

Now, about that Rick 360 in your current av :whatever: ... since you've discovered just how great a Strat can be, have you had a chance somehow to plug in one of these for test drive? :poke:

More than happy my friend. I have been making sure that no meetings get scheduled towards the end of the day in order not to interrupt departure time. I leave about an hour earlier than most of my coworkers and they always seem to have a meeting or emergency right about the time that I am leaving.

I'm going home, maybe change strings and play, play, play!!!

They are nice guitars, but they just don't see alot playing time anymore......................and I'm trying to finance another guitar.

I've played lots of notes on both of them, and part of me will be sad to see them go.

I'll post a pic or two from Strumsville this weekend. I only made one cosmetic mod, I changed the knobs. I think the rest will stay as is. This is actually the guitar I was thinking about painting, but once it arrived - NO WAY!!!

If so id change the jack to black and also the strap pins let me know .I need pics so I can butt in ,I mean offer suggestions.

If I painted it, you would have every right to kick my butt, except you probably would have had to race Plank to my house and the guy that got here last would only have what was left of me.:D

I switched to black knobs, but haven't changed the tip yet.

Before it arrived I was thinking I would change the pick guard, but there is something really sweet on how the guard blends in with the red. I'm not even sure what color you would call it, but I can only describe it as light golden white.

Thanks Street.

I just played my Dot, the first time I played any of my other guitars since the Strat arrived. The Dot sounds sweet and having both the Strat and the Dot now gives me a better appreciation for the different sounds they produce. I better understand why guitarist use different guitars based on the songs they are playing - well that and they have a lot more money than me.

Personally I would give some serious thought to the Dot. It is a fine instrument and I doubt you will be disappointed. I believe there are a few on this forum that have Dots that could give you some comments.
