looking good! I'd love to have a hardtail strat. Doesn't Toejam have one?

I do. '01 teal green metallic Double Fat Strat. It was the upgraded version of the Big Apple Strat, available with trem or hardtail. The upgrades were only one string tree instead of two, staggered Schaller tuners, Pearly Gates Plus bridge pickup (a little more treble and higher gain) wound just for Fender instead of standard Pearly Gates. The color of the pups/knobs are also parchment/off-white instead of the bright white on the Big Apple.


Sounds great, but I prefer a flatter fingerboard radius than 9.5"

Note the rear-mount R3 Floyd nut

The nut looks surprised with one eye open more... oO

That's a damed fine looking guitar , and keep tweaking. It usually takes several months for "parts" to begin to settle in and feel like a "guitar".

The vibe is fantastic

Thanks!

:ROTF:

Yeah, it kinda does.

Speaking of tweaks, I did a little playing with this last weekend, I posted some pics in the "builds and rebuilds" thread but I'll post them here, too. This guitar is a great player now, the frets were not out much at all on it, but I did level & dress them and then I wasted the rest of the afternoon to "make" some parts for it- basically de-plating black and chrome stuff.

Great looking guitars. Love the hard tail one especially.
