"Zazz" Strat-24

[Axewielder]

In honor of Metalocalypse, I'm calling this one the "Zazz" Strat (because it has plenty of it!) Coloradoman hooked me up with this bad boy. It's likely a 1990-1991 Ontario-plated Strat-24. It's the only one I've seen with a full strat body and strat horns. The top of the body and top horn have an identical profile to my other strats, but the bottom horn is pulled back and has a Fusion-style cutaway to provide for upper fret access. The pickups are a PATB-1 and a J50N. The wiring looks original to me, but who knows. There is a 3-way blade switch and two coil tap switches for a total of eight different sounds. This guitar cleaned up up really nicely, and it is a nice player with my 10's on there. The neck plate is recessed and angled, and there is a partially recessed trem route.

There are no real clues in the neck pocket and trem cavity, other than matching work orders (was there any doubt with that headstock??) There is some writing in the trem cavity which is obscured with overspray.

I'm sure glad you bought that so I wouldn't have to. Nice Score!

Awesome score. I didn't realize there was another different set of graphics on the back!

I'm betting the mini switches were originally knobs. I like how they put the controls in the polka dot pattern.

I'm not sure, but I don't think so. Coil tap switches are odd on a Jackson, but VVT or VTT knobs on a strat without the active electronics system would be even more unusual. Plus, the wiring doesn't seem to have been messed with as far as I can tell. This guitar is so wacky that anything is possible!

That thing is really, neat. I get the feeling that the artist was looking at a bunch of different patterns to paint it, and said "fuck it, let's do 'em all!"

Yeah, and I think the "artist" was also snorting Pop Rocks.

Here's the Metalocalypse vid that provided the inspiration!

Congrats Axe! That is indeed a beautiful eyesore.
I bet you're going to use it in your "Planet Piss" project, no?

Yeah, like a playable portfolio. Holy shit, and everyone complained about the Pop Art Warrior, but that's fugly. Not as bad as Deco Dream, though. Nothing will ever top that. I hope.

I like this ,something different that you will never see. Kind of goes with your personality, schizo

[straycat]

Very unique to say the least.
I dig it nice guitar all the way around.

I'd say that is so over the top horrible it comes all the way around and becomes awesome. I like it. Love it how the back and headstock are also graphic'd.
