Spalted Maple Strat Build

Yes, it's true, not all guitars are acoustics; some have single coils and some have buckers, and all of those have some serious electrons. Build 'em, work on 'em, mods, questions, Put 'em here!

Well, rightfully, he would be David The First, while Dave would Dave II - The Sequel...

There is a big age difference, so you could go Scots and do David the Younger and Elder...

:shock: :lol:
