Considering that I just reorganized our whole basement in order to more than double my shop space, I think I owe her at least a few dozen pairs of tweezers!

Just wait until she starts showing them to her friends....
....You're gonna be busy....
She texted her best friend and told her what I was doing before I was even done, that's why there's two!
Where’s your build thread? NBD thread at least? Sound clips?
Thats a Gittler bass. @TerribleTim68 said he was more of a metal worker so I meant that as a response to his comment. I would like to have the metal working tools to be able to do that!

Rats. I thought you built one. I'm familiar with Gittler, Andy Summers used one of their guitars in Synchronicity II
Been working on guitars lately. This is currently on my workbench.
Good to see you, Malpeglo. Is that a piezo bridge or what’s the battery for?

Howzabout a buildoff entry.....Perleeeeeease......
(Last nag about it...promise...)....
Entering the build-off is not out of the question, but we'll have to see. I still never finished my entry from last year. I've been dealing with some medical issues, but am feeling a bit better lately. We'll see.
Nice grain!
Thanks, yes, I was real happy with the grain on this one. Its a pre-made body that I majorly modified and then finished. Just a satin finish though - I don't have the strength or desire to buff it out to gloss just yet.
Heh, I guess that depend on your definition of a Super-Strat - everyone's definition seems to vary a bit. I found an Elite Strat neck at a nice discount, so it'll be a Fender Branded guitar. I already have an Elite Strat (and a Tele for that matter) and I have to say that Fender really out did themselves with the Elite neck profile. I jumped on that neck when I saw it. Not as impressed with their Ultra series though.
Oh yeah, here's the back:
I totally messed up the ferrule holes so ended up just making a ferrule block, which I actually like better than individual ferrules. Gotta love a hardtail Strat.

Sorry to hear about the medical issues good vibes for good health headed your way...
You can use those same skills to build a bass, here's something that's been on my bench for a bit,Yeah, I'm for sure more of a metal fabricator, so my first bass build will be a journey for sure! I can do quite a bit with a stomp sheer, box brake, shrinker/stretcher, tubing bender, a welder and a cutting torch. But when someone says "Let's build a wood thing" I get a glazed over look and start searching for the nearest exit.

On this one I used the LR Baggs X-bridge. I haven't heard it just yet, should be getting there tomorrow, assuming I did all the wiring correctly.
I have the Fishman Power bridge on another Strat. That one sounds good - when it works. I'm getting intermittent output on one of the saddles, and distorted output on another.
