WTB: SVL or MBGuitars or Smitty or vintage strat

These guys seem to build a nice looking relic-style Strat and Tele. Although their headstock shape is somewhat unusual and perhaps rather an acquired taste...

Thanks, there are so many great builders out there... the headstock reminds me of Parkers Fly guitars, and sure is unusual for a classic shape like the strat, i am not sure i would be ready for that lol

Trussart Steel-O-Matic Strat? 

micamused

@Castro Thanks but no interest in steel guitar right now, i owned one and could not bond as much as I'd like... i guess I am a traditional wood boy :P

Castro

Just so you know, it is wood other than the top.

But good luck in your quest.

any good strat available out there?

@kuras is selling an incredible Smitty Strat on here. I’ve played it quite a bit and really loved it. I’ve owned an SVL Tele and three CS Relic Strats and personally preferred the Smitty...

Thanks for the feedback on the Smitty, tbh it looks pretty cool and am sure it is a killing guitar... and I would love to try it too hehe

I have talked to Kuras about it, and since it is kind of the same woods as my SVL, i was more eager to find something a little different, mapple mapple for example, maybe ash. I could be tempted to try the Smitty but with some trade of something in the middle.

There is a Bravewood strat I've just tried at Edgware Music, North London. White, 63 type neck, pretty amazing feel and sound, but maybe a little pricey at £1,800.

any other good strats on sell?

There's a bravewood on eBay at the moment.

Please let me know if you have any great strat preferably with dark rosewood fretboard, but also open to mapple lately ... medium to hard relic is a plus.

Fender do some great ones, you know...
No love for them?
