Alright so my "Strat" is cosmetically finished! New paint and custom scratchplate I had done where I work. I know some of you guitar heads will appreciate this. And for the car guys I'll just call the new color championship white
Before:

After:



Just waiting for my new pickup to come in and I'll be set
Coming soon...:

DiMarzio DP182 Fast Track 2 Pickup

 

I should mention that all this guitar customizing is probably just the result of me having no car of my own at the moment Driving the wife's Suzuki FTL

 

that looks really nice man..a friend of mine builds guitars like that from scratch for a small business.

 

cool guitar

 

wow thats sick

 

Looks excellent

 

Good stuff

 

looks beautiful!

i wish i wouldn't have given up learning the guitar (or bass).

 

I was afraid I would click on this thread and see Guitar hero pics.

Thankfully no.


Bless your little heart....

 

Haha thanks everybody for all the awesome comments. I couldn't be happier with how it came out.

 

the new color makes it look steve vai -ish

good job

 

i love strats.....but only becuase of the classic headstock.....unfortunately you put some sort of hideous handle looking thing on it....

none the less nice work with the paint.....and great choice in pick guards.

 

thats some sick paint, i like the snake skin

 

That's beautiful man! What do you like to play?

Haha, thanks? Yeah, any time you go custom you have people who love it and some who hate it.

Little bit of everything honestly. I have an oldschool Dean Explorer that I keep downtuned for some metal riffage but this strat sounds so smooth right now for blues/classic rock. I'm interested to see how this new mini bucker is gonna open it up.

anything for a fellow shred artist..
me personally.....i like my Jackson RR1. maybe cause i could stab someone with it.

 

Looks good. Was the whole thing a custom kit, or was it originally a Strat?

 

nice work weird head on it

not at all, seeing the handle on the head, that was the first thing that jumps out at me...

Haha, yeah those are some super pointy headstocks. Those and Ibanez are just looking to put an eye out <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Thirty-Nine &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Looks good.

The whole thing came as an unfinished neck and body and basic hardware. The neck had some terrible backbow to it when we first got it and had to spend a lot of time getting it in check. It feels awesome now but that was probably the worst part.

 

Looks awesome! Nice work.

 

Thanks again to all the positive feedback and constructive criticism!

 

very nice!
im from so cal.. does anyone know where i can take lessons on how to play a guitar?

 

wow thats badass
