Greetings all, I have perused the site for a while now and watched quite a few of Troy’s vids. I figured I should at least join the forum.
I started playing guitar in the early 80’s but heard YJM play Hiroshima Mon Amour and a fire was lit. Then life happened, wives, kids, work, divorce, more work, more crap than time. I always played, in bands, worship team, jams, yadda yadda. But really never had the time to commit to playing as much as I wanted to. Fast forward to a couple years ago I decided to go after a couple songs that lit the fire in 83’. So Ive been working on Hiroshima mon amour, the sails of Charon, and recently started on I’ll See The Light Tonight. Also some other songs or intros that I always thought were out of my grasp for so long. I must say I had a recent epiphany after reading watching a few of Troy’s vids, in particular the vid #9 and 10 about YJM and the technique.
Any way I have both Gibby style and Strat style guitars but really prefer the Strats. The amp I play the most on is an East Club18 or a Budda SD 30. And I dabble in quite a few different styles, from a few jazz tunes, a few country tunes, rock-a-billy (mostly Setzer), blues, rock, surf, punk. I guess wherever there is a good tune.
Here is the Strats.
Spalted maple on that middle one? A nice collection, to be sure!
Thank you, and that one is actually a MIM poplar body that we fractal burned and filled with a gold epoxy. But thanks for taking a look.
The SRV version gets me, man of my tastes, SRV and Malmsteen, and everything in between.
Superb lot of strats there!
Now I have a second question: you can obviously assemble guitars from parts if you want (soldering irons, finish work, etc.). Where is the Warmoth parts guitar? 
Thanks for taking a look, that SRV is very special to me. It also was my getting back to Strats back in 2000.
I’m okay at Strat butchery and pickup surgery for a hack. The all Warmoth one is on the far left, but there is a mish mosh of all kinds of stuff making the rest up. The only all fender one is the SRV.
I’m a fan of Strat butchery. Welcome aboard!
