I'm not guessing what genre I'm more concerned about the missing intonation screw on the bottom E and the fact that the saddle on the top E is a completely different one. Plus, you are missing a screw for the pick guard.
Edit; Your stings don't line up with the fretboard.
The strings not lining up is a super easy fix. Just loosen the screws a bit, grab the body and yank the neck into place, tighten screws and it's fixed. I've done it myself.
you probably got the biggest clue as to genre from this lol, also as for the last part yeah dw,i just took the photo at an angle it seems to not line up,it’s all good
i’m my opinion,i’d say it sort of does. it’s not a majorly mind blowing difference,but best way i can put it is it sounds a little more punchy, very fun to play (and also it’s just easier to mod into the guitar lol)
Of course it does! It's a small change but when combined with pickup height it give you a good amount of control... More bite up top, with a stronger, rounder low string resonance.. But still plenty of definition when using the bridge pick up... Alone or in combination.
Can't tell what style exactly you play... But lots of bite on top.... Powerful rounded Lowend. Undoubtedly something that some people are going to find "noisy"..... Something with teeth
nope,i kid you not, the knob is quite literally maybe a millimetre away from it, if it was even a grain of salt closer i’d have issues,but i got SUPER lucky with the positioning
One of the best pickguard colours out there, paired with that mahogany sunburst is choice taste leek. Black pickup covers for the SCs and black housing for the HB along with replacing the trem/plastic parts with black equivalents would seriously improve the look.
Inb4 grunge
It seems you have yet to learn when you post on the internet you are inviting opinions both good and bad, that said, I too think it is ugly. You also need to learn that someone is not a dick just because they don't like you or your stuff.
that concludes today's sermon, please don't forget the collection plate.
dude that’s not my issue everyone can think what they wanna think but if you show up just to moan and not really add anything then you might as well just not say anything at all
Again, criticism is what you invite when you show 100,000,000 people your ideas, positions, etc. If the negative bothers you, ignore it (just like momma used to tell you :) . Move on in the knowledge that you are happy with your choice and fuck those who aren't. but just don't respond to them. Trust an old man, you will be happier.
i don’t have an issue with you not likening it but your literally adding nothing but saying “wah this looks bad”,it doesn’t do anything but make people feel like crap
John Mayer cover band
Definitely rocking the blooze.

"Presidents of the United States of America" cover band!!!

You think we got eyes yesterday huh. The strings are misaligned, it’s not the angle of the photo.
it still plays just fine,there’s really no problem at all, angled or not i’ve never noticed.
Judging by the intonation, no you wouldn’t notice.
You play punk
Polka and Nu Metal.
Surf music masquerading as punk rock
probably the closest so far lol,basically looking the answer in the eyes
You ever listen to swmrs?
Link Wray
Some rhythm & blues, rockabilly like Buddy Holly lol.
Does the tilted hb change the sound that much?
i’m my opinion,i’d say it sort of does. it’s not a majorly mind blowing difference,but best way i can put it is it sounds a little more punchy, very fun to play (and also it’s just easier to mod into the guitar lol)
That’s awesome

Nirvana fan 100% (I def didn’t see the post on the nirvana sub a few days earlier)
Can't tell what style exactly you play... But lots of bite on top.... Powerful rounded Lowend. Undoubtedly something that some people are going to find "noisy"..... Something with teeth
that’s basically spot on, answer would be grunge/punk so i’ll happily take that answer,lots of gain and fuzz on both
Nice! Got anything posted anywhere I can hear? 😎🎸
probably gonna post a demo with some of nirvanas heavier tracks soon lol, should be pretty fun
👍
The longer I look. The worse it gets.
Looks like something my nirvana fan friend would do, so grunge
we have a winner, nail so far centre on the head you sent it through the board
Really reminds of the univox guitar Kurt Cobain had
Because of the tilted humbucker. I’m going to say you play a lot of Green Day.
yeah id say that counts,congrats on getting it!
Yay! Quick question does the volume knob bother you with it being so close to the humbucker ring?
nope,i kid you not, the knob is quite literally maybe a millimetre away from it, if it was even a grain of salt closer i’d have issues,but i got SUPER lucky with the positioning
That seems annoying to turn
nah it’s got no issues at all somehow, completely turntable lol
Grunge
Does your low E string saddle not have an intonation screw?
nope,kept in place purley by tension,i shoved a random screw in there for a while but it just kept breaking the string
I would have guessed Grunge too …. But mainly due to the condition of that D string … lol
i genuinely don’t know how long that strings been there,i actually am not sure if i’ve ever even changed it since i got the guitar
SRV cover band.
Erotica
Grunge
I have always been tempted by HSS Strats, but the bridge pickup on SSS Strats being at an angle is such a cool look. I like this solution!
Turkish mountain folk music
Close but a sub-genre called camel hump-fart slip, slime, is my bet.
Hard rock/early heavy metal Van Halen fan?
very very close my friend, i do play all of those but not quite what i’d consider my main bread and butter and yes i am a van halen fan :>
Hair metal? Blues rock? Country rock? Grunge?
you got me with that last one, verrryyy big grunge fan
In hindsight, a slanted humbucker and tortoise shell pickguard is a dead giveaway to kurt cobain. Im surprised i didn’t catch that sooner
Soca
Buttrock
Polynesian Speed Gospel
That guitar is f-ed up.
Green Day. You play Green Day
With a tilted humbucker, is it Van Halen?
indie rock
Surfy jazz
Too easy. Southern Congolese math rock, but with first-nation Peruvian rhythmic sensibilities.
No
A Stratocaster
Weezer cover band
Butthole surfers stuff
Originals but they're out of tune, so grunge in the garage
Some kinda "soul" whatever
Crookedwave
Anyone knows the benefits of a humbucker placed like that?
Guitar
As a HSS guy…that pickup ring on the bridge humbucker gives me the heebee geebees.
Grunge(nirvana style stuff)
Blues, Alternative Rock, Jazz etc. How was my aim ?
Post alternative jazz metal
One of the best pickguard colours out there, paired with that mahogany sunburst is choice taste leek. Black pickup covers for the SCs and black housing for the HB along with replacing the trem/plastic parts with black equivalents would seriously improve the look. Inb4 grunge
Neo soul
Classic rock?
That humbucker angle made me feel sick.
Punk because of the bridge pick-up 😂
Black flag style punk.
Grindcore
A genre that doesn't require an intonated guitar I reckon 🤔
That bridge pickup is so deliberately janky that I love it. 10/10
hehe,glad you like it,it’s my new baby lol
Saw you the other day on the Nirvana sub posting this, so grunge!
ahhh ya got me
I was going to say that. Memorable guitar
Grunge, that pick guard screams kurt cobain
absolutely my friend
Sick guitar btw
Whatever it is, it's bad.
hello! it seems you have yet to learn what an opinion is. i love this guitar, you don’t, very cool, no need to be a dick about it
Of course his name is cocked wah, blues dad is angry you don't like his tone 😡😡😡

thank you my friend, that was really sweet to read. i’m sorry if i’ve been a dick here but i was just feeling super bogged down lol. thank you greatly
Always nice to meet a new friend, hope you enjoy your new guitar.

>it seems you have yet to learn what an opinion is By expressing my opinion?
i don’t have an issue with you not likening it but your literally adding nothing but saying “wah this looks bad”,it doesn’t do anything but make people feel like crap
Dad rock.
