Pics of my Frankenstrat

Neck from a mid 80's charvel #4 combined with a stock 01 MIM strat. I absolutely love it. Classic strat tone and a modern neck that you can shred on if you have to.

I have to treat the board and polish the frets but boy it plays great.

Cool! But locking nut and no locking trem? Reminds me of my old Squier! I could never afford a trem but only a lock nut. I had to tune it with a screwdriver, moving the saddles back and forth! Makes me laugh when I think about it now, I had no idea about intonation. Heh.

hahaha yeah I almost removed it without even trying it but it seems to not interfere with the locks left loose. and I just got finished intonating it so its ready for the road. I do a local set with some guys kinda informal a couple nights a week at a couple local pubs. I'm gonna try her out tomorrow night and see what happens.

Take the bolts and pads off the nut, and put some graphite (aka pencil lead) on the grooves...

I hate to leave the locks loose cause it rattles...

anyways, congrats, sounds like it paid off
