I'm not in the market for a guitar atm, though I have been trying to wear the frets out of one so I can justify buying another one. I would like to get an old-fashioned Strat style guitar with a small radius, a compound radius 7.25 to 9.5 seems to be the smallest I've seen lately. I'm not a fan of the flat fretboards.

You may wish to think twice with a 7.25 Notes bottom out quick when trying to bend on the dusty end of the neck. Even with 9.5 and a standard strat width I had to raise the action. Compound radius is better. It flattens up gradually as the frets come closer to the neck joint.

I too never liked flat radius necks.

You also might consider simply swapping the neck it's cheaper but may need to be sized.

I bought a room humidifier which I should have done long ago. Now that the outside temperature is on the rise I might not need it till fall.

I also bought a board. a 1"x 4" pine board to fit over the x-brace keyboard stand as I no longer need the keyboard but I want my pod go and midi peripherals to sit on it.

Finally added an EMG RPC control to my #2. It has mini humbuckers and the RPC makes them sound like single coils, while the SPC I already had in there makes them sound like full-sized humbuckers.

I guess I just bought a replacement TransTrem 2 bridge for my Steinberger GMT4. It’s been sitting on my shelf for a few weeks because they were out of calibrated strings for it, but they’re on the way now. I’ll report back when it it’s installed. My current one developed a “notch” that made it not always return to the starting position, and replacing the bearings didn’t totally fix it.

Couldn't resist. Ex demo @£129
3 2 left @£129

(the £50 Antiquity S-style I tried was excellent, should be great with a pickup upgrade and full trem block. It played perfectly and stayed in tune after tremolo use.) https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-B ... r-Red/79V6

Ordered a rosewood and maple, 9.5" radius, neck @£59 and an S-style sunburst alder body @£75 from GSGuitars on Reverb.

Around 50% off all necks and bodies.

Got enough bits in the part box to build it to my liking at a fair price, sub £200.
Might have to get rid of one, one in one out.

Just pulled the trigger on a Dean ML with a Floyd Rose myself! Been a Dimebag fan since forever, and you just can't beat that radical shape for stage presence. The Floyd is a bit of a headache to setup initially, but once it’s locked, those dive bombs are addictive. Switching from my old hardtail to this is like learning a new instrument, but the sustain on these MLs is surprisingly good for such a 'pointy' guitar. Can't wait to run it through some high-gain stacks

It’s important to be able to lean a guitar against a table and not worry about it falling over. Tom Anderson solved it with the double strap buttons and it’s weird that it hasn’t been widely adopted.

What guitar gear have you bought/are you buying/will you buy?
