 I have to thank our own Peegoo who helped me repair a hole I accidentally made in the neck. He sent me a wood plug that fit the hole perfectly. I wasn't so perfect in installing it, but it's better than it was. |

It's just a guitar, it's not rocket science.

Very cool! I love it!
Acrylic weighs a ton though, right?

10.5 lbs, but it feels heavier. 1 lb heavier than my LP goldtop.

The best thing about clear acrylic is that your guitar will always match the outfit you're wearing...

I had to do it! I'm playing on Halloween in my ghoul outfit, so I figured my guitar should be part of the costume too.  |

Earlier, I posted about my pawn-shop find: a Galveston Acrylic Strat. It was basically a cheap guitar with a neck in need of attention and crappy electronics. So I dug out the Lace Sensor pickups from my EC Strat, got a Warmoth neck from a friend, and now it's a much better playing and sounding guitar. Speaking of sound, I had no idea how the acrylic body would affect the sound of the pickups. The answer: not much. The EC now has Lindy Fralin split-rail pickups, so I compared the sound of each guitar. There was a slight difference, but nothing dramatic. Maybe a bit more high end on the acrylic? Not even sure about that. Was the difference due to the pickups or the body material? Got me! I'm happy to have a cool looking great sounding and playing guitar.
