NGD I went to the Dark Side!!

[Jethro Rocker]

Longer scale length aside, I think my collection deserves a Strat.
Neck is a slimmer D neck, noiseless pickups and an HB in the bridge is a must. Locking tuners 2 point trem bridge I tightened up slightly to sit flat on body. It only had a likea quarter step up anyhow.

Finish is called Texas Tea - looks black but get it in the light. Kind of a low sparkle Gold green black! Really sexy. Will do some back pics tmrw, it has a different high fret access. I need to try n make room to set up my other strip light or try to do a ceiling reflection flash. Hard to photograph!

What a fantastic looking Strat!!! Really digging the color so far! Is that an ebony fretboard?

Yep. I just looked it up. Honestly thought it was rosewood! That part means little to me I prefer a maple board. A unique finish for sure

Happy New Ultra Strat Day!

Wait til you’ve played an ebony board for a while. It’ll be your new favorite.

And yeah, that’s a striking finish.

Nice guitar sir. I too put off buying a Strat for a long time. Like you.... finally did it and still wonder why I waited so long. Enjoy.

You do realize that you're now just a step away from...

Real nice addition Geoff ! I can see it will need its own WH strap.

Possible although multiple use WH straps make the most sense. It came with Schaller strap lock too.

Part of it was the longer scale length. Part of it was lack of HB pickup models.
Of course, I have multiple guitars that could replace a Strat so it was certainly not necessary...

My guitar teacher told me to get one in 1984


I played a Les Paul Custom and a Les Paul SG Standard back then

I have a couple with ebony. Seems not much different from Rosewood to me. Even the Richlite plays very well and looks great. But I'm not complaining about the ebony!!

Yeah. That’s what I said about both a strat and Tele. And now I have one of each.

Yes don't let the longer scale length bug you Geoff. For me i like the longer over the shorter.
