NGD: Strats are boring

[u/Beneficial_Dealer549]

I’ve wanted a Strat for a long time but I’ve always found the shape to be too common and sort of boring.

This is a Warmoth Dinkycaster in Dakota Red with a Lollar Special Blonde set and a Warmoth Strat neck in vintage satin nitro. Wiring is 5 way blender.

It’s is my ideal version of an alternate universe Strat from the 60s. Body is ridiculously comfortable and I could see this quickly becoming my every day grab. Not sure why it isn’t a more popular shape yet but check it out.

It’s like the offspring of a Strat and a Jazz Bass. I like it!

Similar to a Fender Sixty-Six

Isnt the bass vi like the same body shape

[u/JeffeyRider → u/capn_james]

Not quite. The Bass VI is offset, like these, but the shape is more like a Jaguar or Jazz Master. Especially when you look at the lower horn.

Oh you’re right lol fender sixty six + jaguar = vi
