In June I took possession of a Strat body and neck that I ordered from Alan Brason. I had to wait eight months, but it was worth it !! The body is made of a single piece of alder and the neck is "AAA" bird's-eye maple made to my specs. For this guitar I ordered the complete electronics and hardware from Callaham, including the famous Callaham vintage bridge with "pop-in" trem arm and the so-called "Real 54" pickups that Lindy Fralin makes specially for Callaham. I am totally blown away by the bridge and all parts. The pots, switches, caps, wiring, are all first class industry standard and of the highest quality. I am still trying to decide which I like better, the new Lindy Fralin "Real 54s" or the Fender CS 54s that I have on my fiesta red Brason Strat. So far it's a tie . . . The tuners are vintage Kluson . . .

For more details about the parts, here is Callaham's website: http://www.callahamguitars.com/partsstr.htm

Anyway, I put the guitar together, fitted it with 12-56 Gibson L-5 strings, set it up and it plays and sounds divine!

Here is how it sounds (BT is by UB Hank):

And here is how it looks:

Well Bojan that looks and sounds like an excellent guitar. Alan Brason's work in my opinion is second to none.

Hi Bojan,
It looks teriffic in that ice blue colour and sounds great! - I can tell your chuffed.
I often think about having another one made by Alan - They are so good.!
Congratulations .
All the best Phil

Magic tone from those LF's

Thanks Roger, Ecca, Keith, and Phil

Roger, I couldn't agree with you more !!

Phil, the official color is "daphne blue" and I chose that color because it is so 50s . . . and it goes really well with my first, fiesta red, "Strat," also made by Alan. Initially I wanted an all-white three-layer scratch plate, but they didn't have it so I got the single layer, but it comes with an 0.014 aluminum pickguard shield, which gives it added firmness and prevents it from warping, so that turned out really well.

Cheers,
Bojan

What a nice guitar - and what a great, balanced sound...I think you made a good choice, Bojan. I want such too! )

Thanks Plinky !!
