Spank it good.
What does it look like? Got any pictures?
A few weeks ago, I decided to refurb my Double Fat Strat. For over 5 years it was my number one guitar, but I've barely touched it in the past year and a half. I took it out to band practice tonight and immediately remembered why I love this guitar...........................it was like meeting an old best friend and picking up right where we left off............
I'm taking it to Friday night's gig.

Hey Spudman: I have the same feeling. It seems I go in cycles. But I seem to always return to my humbucker guitars. After a while the single coils just seem too brittle. It is kind of funny that two of the really big strat guys, Clapton, and Buddy Guy both have mid boost circuits that (to me) sound like humbuckers! I also think it has a lot to do with set up and playability. You always seem to play better and easier with a well set up guitar.
The Blues is alright!

My mid boosts are the Hot British and the ZYS, but I still love my old friends the Strats for their "thing" that you have to work to get. Fortunately I have two humbucker guitars that have Strat like feel and sounds. Go figure. I'd love to hear what Planky's double sounds like.:Originally Posted by ZMAN

Lots of notes played on this guitar.....................................
