Farrow	Re: removing wood from stat for different tone? Well, not if it's a cheap copy... I read an article in GP some years ago about a guy who did the same thing - Mooney? I forget. There was a Dan Erlewine article about it, where they discussed his mods to his Strats. He also uses bone and wooden bridge saddles and plays !!! .016-.064 !!! strings. A Strat with a universal rout does indeed sound different than one with a regular body. Farrow http://surf.to/pharaohamps
