Last August we had one of Frank Verrilli's carved art Strats in a Friday Strat feature. Besides guitar building, Verrilli is a prolific sculptor and painter with works on display internationally in some pretty high class joints.
Now, Frank seems to be getting more focused on Tone Sculpting with the introduction of his 3 HB config. demo'd above by Austin guitar groovemaster Lance Keltner. I know this isn't the first time someone's put 3 HB's in a Strat, but there's more goin' on with the switching/split configs and the ironic use of Lindy Fralin pickups. I only say "ironic" cuz, Fralin is known as a guru for single coil Strat pickups, and yet Verrilli is going with Lindy's HB's. But Keltner's demo tells the story better than my ramblings with his good Austin chops in the vibe of neighborhood players like David Grissom & David Holt.
