Paris DCS24T #0008
I really like strats. Okay, I really want to like strats, and I think with a little effort, I can! There are a few glaring issues with them that I need to address if I’m going to make one that I really enjoy:
Move the volume knob away from pinky hurting territory
Make it a little heavier to feel like I can wail on it
Move the middle pickup that I always hit with my pick for some reason
With this build, I accomplished 1 and 2. 3 on the other hand… I completely forgot to address.
This is my first build with a custom pickguard and I feel it turned out fantastic!
DCS24 = Double Cut, S-style, 24 frets, Trem
