if we go upstream we can harvest enough tuna cheaply enough to save the candy ass strat copy's sustain. :D

(What the fark is that bent knitting needle thing for anyhow)

Now, I happen to like basswood - D'OH -(here he goes) so my mid priced Strat type recipe =@ (not valid in certain states due to sanity restrictions)

Basswood body, Tuna (yummy!)3x 4-5k pups [scatterwound,natch] -single or tappable HB to taste-
250k pots,0.0223 caps, 7way switching, switchable preamp with a vol pot and on/off switch, graphite or brass nut,- maple or rosewood fretboard (chicken,me?) and a damn good tight neck joint- bare wood.

I can put this together for way less than $300- why can't major factories- (No, i do know really).

They'll turn out sustain sucking shhit because WE buy it - cheaper to make= better profit magin *mumbles incoherently into beard*.




I'm off to find me little blue pills and lie down somewhere dark.
