Ray Carlton, Mick Brierley and I strapped this 'Black Strat' tribute together a year or so ago. It features Mick's Numbcaster Pickups set and Ray's luthier skills and patience with my wants and gripes (sorry, Ray!) The neck recently had all of the nitro shaved off the neck and replaced with an oil finish for zero drag. So I've set it up to my spec and written yet another HIWATT-inspired preset to go with it. That preset is my gift to all Axe-FX III owners should they care to try it. More pedal demos soon. Cheers.
