smitty_p... it all started back in the early 1970's! I still have one of those seventies guitars, from back in the day, a 1976 blonde hard tail. All original, except for the original Shaller tuners I put on it back in... 1976.
And my most recent one - I wanted to create something quite different from my other Strats. It's modeled after Fender's "Triple Tele" model (I have one of those too) which features three Tele Bridge pickups!
I'd better leave it at that - too many photos and guitars to put into this thread.
