Sure sounds like it!

So, judging by the specs you went with Musikraft for the parts? Or did you special order 'em from Warmoth?

The Tripleshot mounting ring should be an interesting addition...let me know how that works out too...

Musikraft for the neck & body, Warmoth for the Floyd, Thomann for the rest.

Couldn't make up my mind on the neck shape at first... Was going back and forth on a Medium C, '59 LP and a Chunky U

I believe the Triple Shot's gonna be worth it. (never thought I'd say that without blacking out later...)

Haven't tried a Musikraft neck yet, but their Charvel bodies kick ass. I think you're going to be stoked when you get it.

The Triple Shot is really interesting...the design's seemingly unobtrusive, and pretty much provides every coil-tap/phase option available from what I've read...

Not to mention the Brass Big-Block will add the "side of BEEF" factor...

Man, I'm stoked already! I got a couple of jazz-snobs to shock...

Exactly why I ordered one... Low-key versatility. Besides, I prefer a 1 HB 1 SC anyway, so why not make the 'bucker more flexible?

Which reminds me, I better check out that treble bleed mod... Might come in handy.

[jhale667]

I dig the S/H set up too, but didn't think I'd ever really use the out of phase feature, so went with the coil-tap in a push-pull pot for the volume control. The Triple Shot would make it easy, though!

[jhale667]

Btw, Coyote - did Musikraft give you a turnaround-time on your order? Usually depends on when it his their build-cycle, but it's pretty quick...

[Coyote]

Well, I got an email some 3 hours ago saying it's "In Progress"...

[jhale667]

And shock them you will, if ya do it right. And I know you will.

That's a great unexpected bonus, too- getting to cheese off the jazz-snobs and GAyRs of the world with your builds....



I remember one of my Fender-snob buddies specifically scoffing at my two traditional builds "Yeah, they're pretty, but I bet..." blah, blah - so I handed them to him, he played them for a few, and said

"These are probably some of the best-playing Strats I've ever felt, seriously...I kinda hate you."

[jhale667]

So, recessed Floyd...imagining you went with the 37mm Brass?

I guess I'm the only guy in school with a preference for "superstrats", given the amount of Strats, Les Pauls and jazzboxes there...
And they're all telling me to get one of the three!

I can already imagine the looks on their faces. First glance at the paint (slight derision ensues) and when they hear it. (horror!)

Gotta love that...

32mm L-block, actually. Wasn't too sure about the fit...

But I think I can still change it, right?

[jhale667]

Probably....Check with Adam; it depends on how deep your recession is, and more so if you're using a recessed backplate too, (or a thinner body ala a Jackson) then you'd probably use a 32, but I'm using 37mms on all my plain-'ol recessed Floyd Strat bodies (which sounds like what you got from reading the spec)...but I don't need no steeenking backplate...

Definitely check with Adam to be sure. He'll let you know. I kinda want to try one of the "L" ones, but I've been installing old-school bar assemblies on most of my Floyds (hate the 'click' sound the newer thumbwheel ones make when in use) and am constantly dickering with tension adjustments... could be problematic.

About the Goldo...any prior experience with that? Sounds like a Tremsetter, I have a few of those lying around I haven't used due to tales of a similar noticeable "click" when in use...does that do it too?

I'm not too sure 'bout the backplate... I'd rather not show everyone what I'm rockin'...

Check it.
Review: The Göldo BackBox

[jhale667]

That's the review I was reading, actually...

Wow, that guy does not like the Tremol-NO ...lol
