New Guitar Build: The Blackout Stratocaster w/ Bonus 2nd Build!

I've mentioned in another thread that I am building a Completely Blacked Out Strat. Well most of the parts are here so I'm starting the thread.

I'm using a Vintage Modified Strat for my starter. I will add all the Black parts and end up with the finished Blackout! I'm still waiting for the pickguard.
I may leave the pickups uncovered since they are Black already...

The bonus is the Squier neck. I have another Squier Classic Vibe loaded body in a nice Sherwood Green that will receive the old neck off my VM Strat!

So...when I'm done I'll have two for the price of...well maybe two?

Here are a few pics of both.

The sticker removal left some residue and I'm not sure I can bring myself to remove the GOT MILF sticker...

Drop tune it to B for black... :dood:

"No light shall escape the Black Hole"

... :ohno:

In honor of the first named Black Hole I dub my Blackout Strat Pōwehi or just M87 for short...

In collaboration with astronomers, a Hawaiian language professor has now given M87* a more poetic name.
It's 'Pōwehi', and it means "embellished dark source of unending creation", which sounds... pretty spot on.

I had a Hawaiian friend who called me Lopaka Pakalolo

Sounds like another word for “Johnson” what would be ” lowhangindoenthingy” lmao
 
Funny, because I was never a pot guy. The smell nauseated me....but we joked about being under the influence of drugs, selling drugs, etc.
I love the smell always have, my wife on the other hand hates it
all it’s ever done for me is relax me, but I won’t do it during the day, only at night before I hit the hay, or I can sit and toss and turn till it’s time to get up!!
Cheers Mitch
