[tot_Ou_tard]

Coolio Kris!


White is a dang cool color for a strat.

[M29]

Bring it on Kris:rockon: Good choice of color. I love it when a project gets to this stage, can't wait to see it:AOK:

Sweet Kris! Bring on the pics.:bravo:

[ted s]

right on Kris ! waiting for the pics here too.

[sunvalleylaw]

And the clips, the clips, . . . . did I mention the clips. Make sure you include one with your small clone when you do. Maybe a clip of something off Nevermind. :D :AOK:

[scgmhawk]

Me love white strats :rockon:

[just strum]

I'm a white strat lover too - and did anyone take the time to ask for pics and clips yet?

Contrats Young Dude.

[ted s]

yo Kris, don't forget the pics and clips eh ?!

:thwap: why didn't the rest of us think to ask that?

thats a great Idea SVL. so which should I do- come as you are, smells like teen spirit, or lithium? (or any others I pretty much know the whole album.)

I have pics of it being torn down before it was painted and stuff. I would post them but my grandfather used up all the bandwith and it takes me like 5 minutes to load up a page (seriously)

[sunvalleylaw]

Each of those three, plus any you want to add on. You could do a medly! Just don't smash your strat at the end like Kurt sometimes did. :D

did you ever hear the story about how krist (bass player) threw his guitar way up in the air and it came down and hit him in the head and cracked his skull?

[sunvalleylaw]

Yeah, I had heard that one. It is kind of amusing as grunge was a bit like that. Most of these guys were just kids from depressed sections of Washington and weren't really all that cool, whatever cool is, til grunge went big. Having one of the guys toss a guitar for effect and clonk himself in the head with it is ironic. Goes with the honesty of some of that music. Underproduced, straight ahead rock, . . . it was what it was.

Bums me out that the dark side of the scene took Kurt, and some others along the way. But a lot survived, and I still like a lot of that music. Kurt and Co put out some good rock via strat, DS-1 and small clone on Nevermind for sure.

thats probably why I like grunge so much. they don't try to be with the popular music they make what they want to. kinda like how I am, I go out of my way to be trendy and stuff.

I think Proud Mary would sound nice.

Got the whole body finished just gotta solder the wires from the jack.


But i had 1 big and 1 little set back:

the trem arm completely broke when I put it in. the thing is really wimpy.

other one the screw from one of the tuners broke which doesn't really make it different. now I'm going to go put the neck on.

[sunvalleylaw]

Big kudos to your Dad. Thanks for sharing your project, and like we have discussed, will love to hear your clips when you get them recorded. I want to hear that strat and that clone, maybe with some DS-1 mixed in.

[marnold]

Sweet looking axe, Kris. The cool thing is now it is 100% your own. That's what I like about my Floyd project too. There is only one guitar like it and it's mine!

[luvmyshiner]

Very nice Kris! I love it when a project finally comes together.

[pes_laul]

might have some clips in the next day or so if I can get to our studio before everyone else does

[pes_laul]

huh I forgot to mention that I figured out my guitar was made in sep 97 and not 86. The dude lied to me man HE lied!!!

So what - it's the sound, not the year.

Young Dude, a big congrats to both you and your dad. When I was your age, my dad didn't know where to plug a guitar in. He tried plugging into the big hole until I explained to him that it was an acoustic.

I think it's a cool looking guitar and cool that you and your dad can work on a project like this together.
