Home Brew Strat Fun - Some Loverboy Riffs

My homebrew strat, I've had it awhile, but I don't show it off too much. I put this guitar together out of a DiMarzio body made of alder, a Squier Affinity Strat neck w/ tuners and string trees, and the pickups and pickguard out of an Arbor Strat copy (some routing required).

Anyway, I know it's out of tune in a few places, and so on, it's been quite awhile since I seriously played any Loverboy stuff. I used to be really big into them in high school, and Paul Dean was one of my formative influences. As always, if you get snotty in the comments, or spam, I'll just delete your happy butt like a truncated file.

Tidbits From: Turn Me Loose, Prissy Prissy, Teenage Overdose, Always On My Mind, It Don't Matter, Working For The Weekend, When It's Over, and Lucky Ones.

the gain is just to low.

[creepingnet]

Considering your screen name I'd say the gain is just right for me and that it's just not to your taste.

Amazing! What amp/pedals are you using?

[creepingnet]

Just straight through a Behringer V-Amp pro with the emulated JCM800 Marshall and a EVH 78' cabinet.

Dude, your guitar sounds awesome. What kind of rig and settings do you have going on. Keep on rockin' ! :)

[creepingnet]

The guitar itself is a DiMarzio Body (alder), Arbor Strat copy electronics with a Switchcraft switch and pots, Allparts Strat bridge, Squier Affinity Series neck & Tuners. In this vid I was running it straight into a Behringer V-Amp pro using the Brit-Hi Gain Amp Sim, and the EVH 78' Cabinet, and Big Room reverb for that quasi-live sound I was going for.
