This is 1 of my @Fender custom shop guitars. Circa 97. I picked the solid mahogany slab. 1 piece body, no finish, only routed for 1 humbucker. I recently refitted the floyd w/all @FU_tone titanium, a @seymourduncan custom 78, push/push (coil tap).

when I was a kid, in like 79/80 (?) I saw an advertisement for AC/DC's "Let there be Rock" concert film that said its so loud that it could cause hearing damage. I threw on my AC/DC jacket, took 3 buses and saw it twice. I Salute You Malcolm Young. RIP 🤘

I was a kid, 10 /11 yrs old, in an abusive household and I vividly remember desperately asking whatever was beyond the ceiling of my room if I could just be like Eddie Van Halen maybe I could escape my situation. At the time I didnt even own a guitar...
