No I don't shred, nor do I play much solos anyway, but I'm hopelessly stuck in the 80s and I love Strats with humbuckers, or neck through stratoid shapes I'm spending part of my money into some of the Stew Mac tools for my future tech shop (thinking about 10 years ahead but eh I gotta start early) and the rest may go to another guitar. The purpose of it is to get a guitar that's easily modeable, very playable (compound radius for low action preferable). Bridge doesn't matter, nor do the pickups to be honest (replaceable). It'd need to have decent quality woods (any is ok. I'm used to basswood and I love it so I could do with something different to try it out). It can be second hand (eh for that price it most likely will be). Bolt on, set or neck through don't matter as long as the sustain is decent. I'll set it all up myself (most likely new nut and maybe fretwork if I know how by then) so factory set up doesn't matter as much either. In fact not much matters but eh, I hope you get a decent picture
Right now I'm just opening my mind to suggestions. I have a truckload of ideas but I'm wondering what you guys can think that I didn't know about. It'd be to play anything from blues to very high gain stuff but again that'll depend on the pickups + amps (seperate problem).
Right now I have a Charvel model 4 with a FullShred in the bridge position and a model 1a waiting for a new nut, an OBL450 I got today and some funky wiring. I love superstrats as you can tell [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]. I believe I know most of the 80s and 90s shredders out there but I'm not too familiar with the new ones out there. It can be a Jackson (it'd be nice since I'm used to the great quality of the Charvel model series already).
