.13's aren't really all that bad, if you keep your callouses intact. As long as you treat your fingers well, they are fine. Obviously you need reasonably strong hands and fingers...my hands are 24cm from my wrist to the tip of my middle finger...but the fat tone these D'Addario .13's give my...

I've "upgraded" my strat to .13s today. And also, there is no such thing as a silly newbie question. Everybody is always learning.

My mistake...D'oh!

Yeah, the Jam are awesome. You know, Mike McCready must really be a tiny guy, look at him compared to that strat.

Don't you mean 11th fret?

Cheers, all.

Yeah, it was pretty cool, but it was a bit too...'in my face' for my liking. I prefer something more mellow like a Strat or Tele.:rotflmao:

I'm already doing a Squier. I've done an old Washburn N2 Nuno Betterncourt model aswell. That came up pretty nice, I sold it for $400AUD. (Bought it for $200)

If I was to build a Stratocaster using a body and neck from Warmoth, which are licensed by Fender, does it count as a Fender Stratocaster?

Quoted from the Deaf Eddie website:

No worries.

I don't know if you still need one, but I found this one for $6.50 (Probably American Dollars). Go here - it's the 14th one down. It might be difficult to do without a pickguard. You'd have to make special covers to hold the pickups in place. It'd probably be easier just to buy a pickguard...

Thanks. Already it seems like a great place!

I have a Telecaster, and play a fair bit of bluesy stuff. At the moment I'm using D'Addario XL110s. They sound and feel nice. I'm thinking about upsizing to XL115s, but that would really require a Truss Rod adjustment, which is a pain in the behind...

Well, I do play a Telecaster. But then again the only Springsteen song I know by name is Radio Nowhere. :P Cheers, all.

Thanks for that link, thearabianmage. Some great stuff there, by the looks of it. Warren, I will get some pics at some point, but I need to buy a digital camera (I spend all of my money on guitars! LOL!) After I've done this, I'll be rebuilding my Tele, at which point I'll be seriously looking...

I own a TU300, a DD100 and a TM300. I don't use the Tube Modeler anymore, it's far too noisy. The TU300 does a great job, but I'm not a fan of the overly-bright LED which seems to be a feature of most Behringer pedals. The DD100 is great for the price I paid ($49AUD). The plastic construction...

Thanks. Yep, I'm rebuilding the Strat. You can read about it in a little more detail here. Cheers.

Thanks, sunvalleylaw.
