You guys might remember this from being on eBay a while ago where auction ended w/o the reserve being met. I wasn't really looking to score another guitar but I kept staring at the pictures in the original auction and my drool got to me [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
This guitar is hard to photo. It looks better in my pictures than it does in the ones in the auction. The flame depth changes with different lighting and angles. You'll see what I mean in the big-ass pictures [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] It is sweeter in person than I can capture with my lame ass photography skills [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] It is pretty damn heavy for a strat but it’s a keeper no doubt. Although I prefer a wider nut than 1 5/8 it is not hard to play for me. I do need to get rid of the 9's on it and raise the action a little to what I'm used to playing.
When I talked to Lee about this he thinks it one of maybe 2 flat-top GMW's they've ever built with a Floyd.
GMW Flame-top, Flat top Strat
* Honduras Mahogany body with AAAAA Flame maple top, body binding
* Birdseye Maple neck, 1 5/8" nut width 6100 frets
* Gotoh tuners gold (SG-36)
* Duncans JB (bridge) 59 (neck), black and crème zebras, crème bezels
* Gold Original Floyd Rose
Here's the bigger pics. I don't want to post the big ass ones in a thread as I hate when people do that [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

The guitar reminds me of the one Adrian Vandenberg use in the Burning Heart video (I think that was the song)
Here she with a couple of buddies
