Thats lovely, Smitty was another brand I need to look at but there aren't tonnes in the UK at the mo

I'm having a real case of Strat Indecisiveness at the moment, I guess I want "vintage tone" with "modern playability" if that means anything; also I like two knobs as I was always turning down the volume inadvertently when I had a Fender.

Shecter USA/Vigier/Music Man/PRS all on the radar.

Took the words out of my mouth. I have a 'vintage' style LSL strat and a 'modern' super strat already - looking for a 1/2 way between the 2. Yeah I need to try a MM cutlass out at somepoint too! Wasn't a fan of the Silver Sky, couldn't get on with the radius.

I don't like the looks of the Silver Sky, and I'd prefer a satin neck, but having played one out of curiosity I've got to admit it sounded great.

Ormsby have some new entry level straight frets gtx in attractive colour.
No stainless steel frets and hipshot, seems indo made, and gigbag instead of hard shell case.
Like the colour but feel the open pore finish is not work with these colour at the same time.

Schecter USA Nick Johnston FTW. And those pickups, bruh.

Some others to consider:
G&L USA - I played a bunch at AxePalace back in the day and they were aces
Why no Suhr? - Kind of the standard for modern strat with vintage tone, no?
Grey Guitars - Haven't physically played one, but gorgeous
Xotic - they kind of started the whole flame maple neck Strat thing
Peavey Limited VT (the SSS) or ST (SSH) - vintage tone but 15" radius
Fender American Elite or Ultra - compound radius neck + Fender = yes!

I have a BFR Limited Cutlass. I wish I brought it with me (it's in storage right now). From what I remember, it played and sounded more modern like a Vigier or Suhr and less like a vintage Strat. Very playable.

Looks like the production pearl white with white pickups and knobs instead of black?

Wow, I didn't even know the AZ came in white. But yeah, the one I posted is supposedly a custom model. This is where I found it: https://reverb.com/item/29340395-ibanez-az2402-ksaz01-custom-order-model-white-gross-made-in-japan

I think of Kill ‘Em All every time I see that guitar. I don’t care much for Camo guitars but I’d still buy that one.

Been gassing ultra hard for a kiesel. Dont want to post it yet as it comes next week but traded my km7 for one.

Saw both of these guys today, tried the pomegranate one:

Was planning to leave sort of on the fence about a maybe purchase, but the pomegranate one didn't look nearly as good in person as it did on the website photos (my photo is fairly realistic). Neck was sick visually. The Modern Eagle V is about the mini toggle for the 500/250 pot, but man, it was very hard to hear a difference back-toback. It was a tiiiiiny bit brighter, but probably not anything you wouldn't be able to dial in on the amp (with like a 1/50th turn of some knob).

Regardless, even without that switch it was a really versatile guitar. By far more versatile than anything I own.

ESP is KILLING IT already with the 2020 line up.

The Viper is my favorite ESP model and this one speaks to me on every level. I know what my tax return will be for.

 

[gunch]

is the TOM recessed and the break angle shallower on those because having the pickups stick out so far with no rings seems kind of silly
