i've had a look at warmoth bgut they only do big stars that don't look as good as on the old sambora strat. i'll have a look at the other site though. thanks for the tip off. The new guitar sreally are horrible aren't they. he took some gorgeous guitars out with him on the crush/one wild night tour, but since he left fender it's all gone tits up. Anyone know what pick up richie uses in the neck of his gold strat? i've got a dimarzio fast track in at the moment but it hasn't got enough balls. could it be the chopper or cruiser?
