A Gilmour-ish Strat.

When I cut the one on my other strat it came out all sh!t and now it's rubbish, plus I don't really know how far along to cut it.

I've already bought one, so I'm going to either get the one I got cut or buy a new arm (which are about 50p) already cut-down.

The guitar shop in Prestatyn high street re-opened today No idea why it shut, but now it's back. A few months back they had a pretty decent Les Paul stolen.

B From the first box is the one you are wanting mate....
As for the trem bar it would prberly be cheaper just buying an already shortened one.

Speak on Msn ill help you more there.

BTW, I've just updated my Stratocaster Blog.

Try //buildyourguitar.com they do a strat type instructions but i recommend building a lap steel first. there are great instructutions on this site and you should build one before going on a more complicated build. i built one for my project. also you should just build one because One of these days, Shine on you Crazy Diamond part 6 and High Hopes won't be the same without it. also the softer parts on Breathe, Great Gig in the Sky and Pillow of Winds

Dyolf / Jonathan has been making this strat for 2 years lol. It'll at least be another 3 until he finishes it.
So dont waste your time with replying to his thread lol.

oh sorry. lol. im a noob. still, great idea if you don't own a lap steel.

So I ended up kinda doing it! I had an old squier that I sanded down and repainted, and i got a custom neck from warmoth.com. Im gonna save up for some David Gilmour EMG's as the final touch. My pickups now sound like im playing through mud.

Not every gilmour guitar needs Emgs... You'd be better with the Fender Custom 69s for that classic Gilmour tone.
Also i reccomend getting a Callaham trem block in there. That alone will give u a better tone alone.
