Wow, cool guitars... the finish on the Strat looks matt? Very cool... I love that colour. BUT, that Tele is BRILLIANT!!! I AM British... so, apparently I CAN say that!!

[Rich_T]

Man, if I was british, I'd call it f-ing brilliant.

I am, so I will. That is f-ing brilliant. Love it.

Yours is the newer nitro matte finish isn't it?

Uber cool... and way unique too! I'll bet you're the only person in the world with a guitar like that - considering colour, pickup arrangement, pickguard, model, etc.

[WhoFan]

i like the angle of the pickups.... the reverse angle on the bridge PU must make it sound more like a Hendrix inspired tone.... the shorter bar has the David Gilmour action.... The Lipstick Tubes i'm sure have sort of SRV thing about them.... something for everyone in one axe...

The Lipstick Tubes i'm sure have sort of SRV thing about them....

Definitely. I just saw an SRV concert where he had a custom made guitar with two knobs and the lipstick pickups for most of the show. Sounded great.

[WhoFan]

normally i'm not a fan of Shell guards on strats.... somehow i love them on teles but not strats as much.... but on that colour of HW1 it works...

[That90'sGuy]

That strat is incredible! Lipstick pickups rock, plain and simple.

I have one Strat with 3 Duncan SLS-1 PUP's in it, she's awsome....
