If you use reverb minimally, then the Blue Sky is fine. If you do big/long reverbs like so much of P&W, then in my experience there just isn’t a comparison - the BigSky is just in a whole other league than the Blue Sky.
That grain is just stunning, and the neck plate and inlay are both really special. Enjoy getting your desert island in hand!It's the strattiest strat that ever did strat! Even the most hardcore of strat devotees will love it!

I know this would absolutely be MoonshineMan's favorite guitar of all time! It truly is his ideal strat!
Seriously though, I believe I've said before that this guitar was made in honor of my Dad who passed away due to complications caused by ALS just a couple months before I ordered the guitar. Besides being one of my best friends, he was one of my biggest supporters in my music, and came out to every show/church gathering I played that he possibly could.
The obvious homage is the neck plate engraving of his signature and DOB/DOD. Less obvious is the custom inlay. It looks like a nice design (it's actually the Veritas F-hole shape), but for me, that "F" represents family. My Dad grew up in a crappy home, and literally devoted his life to helping others build up their homes (he was a psychologist who specialized in marriage/family counseling), as well as making sure we had a great home life. In the years before he passed, family became such a buzzword for my Dad that we could literally make him tear up by merely saying "Family". (My wife and I actually had contests to see how many times we could make him tear up over a single meal!)
Despite the issues I've had with Veritas in recent months, they are really the only company I know well enough to trust with a build like this - where I'm buying the guitar knowing that I will never sell it. I doubt I would have even considered doing something like this were it not for the ridiculously high quality of my first custom Veritas. I also specced it out to be my desert island guitar. Can't wait to get my hands on it!
Welcome! In my case, the next Helix update will solve it
That burn unit is beautiful, shoot that's the first "colorway" i've ever wanted to sell my version of the same pedal for.
The pictures don’t even do it justice, but here ya go:
Hey man, cut me some slack. My hockey season has been done since like week three AND we got booted down to the fifth pick with the freaking Devils of all teams jumping to second.Booo... we can no longer be friends.
Very nice! I had one of the original run of EJ strats in college (because Lincoln Brewster was playing one at the time
). Played and sounded great, though I ultimately sold it because the neck got sticky after a short period of use.
It's the strattiest strat that ever did strat! Even the most hardcore of strat devotees will love it!

Glad to hear your getting better! I am curious what type of exercises they had you doing.
Easy enough to show.
It was THAT easy! For real though, here's my current setup:
Risers are easy, and there are multiple great options out there.
Cloud.
nice to see Barber pedals getting some love!
I can’t scream it from the rooftops loud enough. I’ll never understand why his pedals seem to be so underrated. Best, most versatile and usable drive pedals I’ve ever used.
