My Vigier Excalibur. It is everything I want in an electric. Sounds sweet as hell and plays like butter.

Yes it does...Uncle E wrote:That's got to sound amazing, Warmoth parts are great. Does the hollow body add anything to the tone?iDavid wrote:I have a Warmoth Strat. It is hollow with Kinman pick-ups.
The kinmans are really open as well
It adds a bunch of sustain and it is really light.
The next plays like butter, but I actually can't play
peace,

Don't laugh too hard - Mine is the same '68 Fender Duo-Sonic my dad bought me when I was fourteen - the one I learned on, and my first tune was: "Outer Limits" by the Ventures!Sonicseven wrote:I have a Fender American Strat that has been seasoning fo 20 years now that I like alot, and a Fender reissue 62 Tele that is a real nice player. But my two favorite guitars are the ones I made myself. They are modeled after the Strat and the Tele but are wholly different beasts. I will try to post some pics of these beauties when I can.
What is your favorite guitar(s)?
Still sounds like it did when it was new - maybe somewhat mellower (like me)

I must explain that my first instrument was the piano, then other keyboards...
My first guitar with electric capabilities was an EKO Ranger 6 Elektra, that my parents bought me 32 years ago (:o ?) ; still have it (my son has, in the moment
), and altough I don't play guitar that often, I saw once on TV a guy playing jazz with one and it sounded awsome.
Only some years ago I bought a real electric guitar, still a very cheap one: a Peavey Raptor; not the best thing in the world, if you ask me
Someday I'll buy a Les Paul
But I have to hurry because I play less and less guitar, and someday I can't play at all.

I'm considering to change the pickups of my Peavey Raptor (a Stratocaster clone). Any idea whose should be the best? I want a... fat sound ("buy a Les Paul", I know), mellow...

Current favourite's an Ibanez Ghostrider in orange sunburst. Don't see many orange ones about these days, if anyone else has one - let me know (curiosity) 
ps. oh yeah, plays like a dream and sounds like a whore being poked in the Gary Glitter, etc. etc.

Seymour Duncan Little '59's, JB Jr.'s, or Cool Rails would all help. The Little '59 is basically a Gibson PAF (the pickups found in Les Pauls) replicas in the size of a single coil so it'll fit right in to your Raptor. I've got two in my own Warmoth strat & they sound great.jax wrote:I'm considering to change the pickups of my Peavey Raptor (a Stratocaster clone). Any idea whose should be the best?

I like my `81 Gibson Invader. Its like a Les Paul with a bolt on neck, Grover tuners, dot inlays (I dont like big inlays), and the pickup selector in the "right" place down by the knobs

Jax,
Try the Dimarzio HS-3 or HS-2. I have those in my Strat along with a pretty twisted switching scheme that allows me to go from a Tele like twang to a very heavy dual humbucker sound.
Also look into the S.D.'s as Uncle E suggested; all these pick ups sound different so use your ear to decide what's best for you.

My favorite electric is my G & L ASAT Classic. My favorite acoustic is a 1936 National Duolian resonator.
