Another New Stratocaster Project!

[Sp8ctre]

I just picked up a body painted and finished by Marty Bell. The paint job alone is $360 and I got a very sweet deal!

Marty Bell Finishing - PREMIER GUITAR FINISHING - Sparkle Finishes



It's getting a highly figured neck.



Custom wiring by Tone Man Guitar and a set of pickups hand wound by Josefina Campos! I also scored a good deal on a used set of these...

Congrats! Very shiny!

Yea, I seem to like shiny...and the best thing about a Strat...if I don't like it a new body is easy to come by!

 

[Truss_rod]

Awesome.

 

[Sp8ctre]

Awesome.

I hope it sounds as nice as I think it will look! I only have the pickups and wiring harness in hand right now...

 

[Truss_rod]

Oh I'm sure it will and that neck is absolutely beautiful.

 

[Don O]

Oh, that’s gonna be nice !

that thang is sweet looking. You need a super pimped out switch wiring configuration for it also.
