I guess I'm about this high. But I've always practiced sitting down, so it's just comfortable at that height.

Whoa....forgot about it last year, so just doubled up for this year via PayPal Friends and Family. R. Godinez

I've got a Case Queen just like that. Probably the most resonant sounding of the whole bunch. I wonder if she'll need a twin sister.

Big Congrats Ernie!! That's one of my favorite channels when I'm in the car. Hopefully they'll play more songs from that CD.

Wow.....Just got back from vacation and see this. So sorry to hear about this Tommy. But you got through it before, and it didn't keep you down. You're a Die Hard Trooper brother, I'll give you that. Praying for your recovery.

I can't wear shorts with my chicken legs.

I think an old post I read a while back mentioned the Daytona neck pocket is a little deeper and more of a Tele shape. A Fender 22 fretboard will hit the pickguard, who knows, maybe even crack off once bolted down. Saw a Daytona on Reverb not too long ago with a Fender neck. Wonder how they pulled that one off?

These are nice lightweight cabs. A little lighter than my Crate 1x12 cabinet, but I have the 112V, a convertible cab, which is a little thinner yet a little deeper. I think Carvin used Poplar wood for their cabinets. And yes, I did remove the name plate.

Living in Chicago's south side for the last 35 years or so, I'd occasionally see the "Bucket Boys" just bangin' away on the street corners. I was always tempted to say "Play the drum solo to "In a Gadda Da Vida". Heck, I'd have given $10 to hear a decent version of that instead of the offbeat racket I was hearing. 😜

Hey.....sometimes you're just a natural at things.

Ok guys, now that I have my reading glasses on AND magnified it, I can see the 3-piece grain on the neck. Sure looks like it was masked to give it that 2 tone look. Also see the brass nut cap. Guess my cataract surgery didn't help much😜

Bullet truss rod, neck joint reminds me of some import model. Scarf neck joint with two different woods, why? Paint job and pickguard....... Nope, smells like Bullcaca to me!

Great catch, especially with the bigger necks. Congrats.

Short splined shaft, this one might work....Thanks!

The thing is, I'm going for a "54" type Strat build. Found out that the early year models had 100K pots, then changed out later that year to 250K. So far, the only decent (CTS) short shaft 100K pots I've found have a solid post. Also found a splined type but they're tiny mini pots and the shaft is a bit longer. Have those on order too but don't know how far off the pickguard it would be. I'd rather stick with the CTS pots because I noticed they don't spin as easy while pickin' the strings. You Strat type players know what I'm talking about.
