3Strats, I have that same model vintage resonator, great guitar! I also have a self made 'suhr copy' which I finished quite recently, I wasn't looking to directly copy marks but just get somewhere near, I was very pleased with the results. Will post some pics when I get the chance.

its been over a week now, desperately waiting for pics.....

Drumroll please.....

At last

after much anticipation......

A Picture!!



Jeez this is going to be a long post....

From left to right, back row.

A Shine Sil something or other, I picked it up dirt cheap, nice Blue flamed maple cap, nato body, I installed modified EMG HZs and a coil tap.

My first self built strat, mirrored pickguard, A mixture of Entwistle pickups, 2 single coils one mini humbucker, set up with heavy strings and a brilliant Wilkinson knife edge trem (best I've ever come across on a Strat, never ever goes out of tune no matter how much grief you dish out on it)

My lovely self built superstrat built from scratch, carved alder body, maple cap, neck flame maple nicked from an old adagio strat (but its great), walnut scratchplate, wooden hardware, HSH Entwistle and Wilkinson pickups, Floyd trem. Really proud of it and often gets mistaken for something worth several grand.

Ashton 12 string - Kept for the odd 12 string part on recordings, does the job.

Wow !

That's a great collection & it covers a lot of sonic ground. I'm impressed with your home builds. I haven't got the facilities to even dream of building a guitar, and that's before I consider my lack of woodworking skills. (although I had a block of wood that was going to be the basis of a Tele' at one time).  Personally, I think I'd rather have a number of guitars than one or two really expensive ones that I was frightened to take out of their cases. I'm probably fortunate in that my ears are not discerning enough to tell the difference between a good

A green one....that made me chuckle.....

I do know what you mean though. To me value is really in the worth of the instrument to you personally. Out of all the guitars pictured the one I treasure the most is the suhr copy. Its like you say 'the one I'm afraid to get out of the case'. Yet it probably cost something in the region of a couple of hundred quid to make, yet its pristine and shines like a gem, the knopfler strat and the adamas are worth ten times that yet I'd happily gig with them over and above the Suhr (Perhaps we need to invent a new name for my suhr copy as there are a few 'purists' on the suhr forum who would regard my efforts as sacrelidge! From now on I intent to refer to it as a Chur....)  ;D

It is a Brand new: Fender 'Classic Player' 60's Stratocaster finished in 3-tone sunburst and although it's a mexican it is designed and built by the Custom shop guys! even has a custom shop neck plate too!
Plays beautifully too.....
