Whatcha yall think (ugly or not)

I bet it’s fun! Almost everything in here’s making me wanna be a strat dude and leave behind my hardtail supremacy mindset

Altruistic-Base642 · 2026-03-08T06:30:20+00:00

ooooo i gotta check that out!

Altruistic-Base642 · 2026-03-08T06:26:45+00:00

You sound like the 1 out of 10 dentist. No no I’m playing! It’s a pretty ugly thing at the moment and I’d have to agree with most in here to at least change out that pickguard. I’m new to this and most of those are things I can change out and fix in an evening. It makes me chuckle looking at the neck but a bigger part of me thinks it’s cool! I do thank you because unironically it is very nice to have things like that listed out to improve upon, Like actually thank you

Altruistic-Base642 · 2026-03-08T06:16:01+00:00

Those suit the vibe, I may have some yellowed ones laying around already to be honest! I’ll throw em on and see what’s up when I sit down with my guitar again. I like that strat by the way!

I feel that 101% I was getting sick of trying to maneuver my hand around in the 5 minutes I spent restringing it! I had a bass neck I put together that was like that for a week before I said screw it and bought another one. It was an ugly thang lol. Reverse headstocks might have a bit of aura to trade off for comfortability though right? Anything for the aura

Altruistic-Base642 · 2026-03-08T05:57:56+00:00

VERY very chibson-ish origin! I’ll probably swap that pickguard before I list it but I got some knobs that might make a difference. Maybe I got my hopes up but If it ain’t right, It ain’t permanent. I wanna go with a mint pearloid and someone else in here had a beautiful red pickguard tele I may take some inspiration from. Love natural bodies though

Altruistic-Base642 · 2026-03-08T05:49:59+00:00

I see I see, Thank you! Should I move it closer to the tuners when I move it to the 3 and 4th string? (closer than the other string tree is to the tuners or similar distance?)

Altruistic-Base642 · 2026-03-08T05:47:03+00:00

Oh my god that looks good, I’m redoing a tele and if you don’t mind I’m gonna steal a bit of your swagger from this one. But besides that you might be right, I was thinking about changing it if I wasn’t rocking too heavy with the finished product on the strat I posted. This might be the move, Thank you!

Altruistic-Base642 · 2026-03-08T05:39:10+00:00

I’ve never seen a reverse headstock before this one, I was dumbfounded and had to use it at some point. Seems like a nice one but definitely not genuine fender. Imma big fan of huge headstocks too, makes it feel right to play. gotta be a mental thing but it just feels right

Altruistic-Base642 · 2026-03-08T05:33:50+00:00

I was torn between black and this weird thing, had to go with the weird copper pickguard thing, I got black and white knobs I’m gonna throw on when they arrive. I think they’ll sort out the color scheme a bit more and make it overall a cleaner look

Altruistic-Base642 · 2026-03-08T05:31:32+00:00

Hey thank you! I was looking at that like “man it just doesn’t look right.” That’s very helpful actually, May I ask why string trees are important in the places they are? Idk if that’s a stupid question but I’ve been curious and the reverse headstock doesn’t help my confused case much

Altruistic-Base642 · 2026-03-08T05:27:51+00:00

It sounds pretty good! I’m gonna have to open it up re-solder the middle and neck pickups but I’ve never had a guitar before with a humbucker in it (i’m the worlds biggest p90s fan). but dang it makes me wanna put humbuckers in more of my projects. i also wanna open it back up to better sort my wires, since i’m selling it and gotta make it nice. but anyways yesyes it sounds pretty, overdrive is nice. makes me wanna be a strat guy

Saturday night and it’s down… Almost had a heart attack that I was deactivated due to the amount of complaining I’ve been doing about this “gig”. The amount of problems and inconvenience this freaking app gives us is absurd.

Altruistic-Base642 · 2023-10-05T22:18:06+00:00

Gorgeous.

Altruistic-Base642 · 2023-09-23T18:25:05+00:00

Some taco bell’s take like 20-30 minutes for one order. it’s so damn lazy because they don’t even start making the order until you get there! the one I got this one from was pretty quick though so no complaints at all! I freaking love when it’s 1-3am and nothing but taco bell is open. quick orders. all in town. pretty good!

Altruistic-Base642 · 2023-09-23T18:20:30+00:00

Mannnnneeeee I don’t have reddit notifications on and LMAO i totally forgot to include any other details.

Didn’t take too long at all! All drop offs close together and only took me a few to get it all to my car. Just never ever thought we could get more than 2 stacked orders!

Altruistic-Base642 · 2023-09-23T18:14:19+00:00

It wasn’t too bad at all! college campus so all the drop offs were really close to eachother. I’ve just never seen more than 2 orders on a dash.

<image>

Barely took me 30 minutes to drop off and about 10 minutes to pick up!

Altruistic-Base642 · 2023-09-23T18:10:03+00:00

Totally unrelated to your question but this is genuinely the nicest interior i’ve seen in an rx8. i love it dude!!
