The Muse I Adorn

Nice! Where did that headstock come from?
Well..... this is a kit guitar I got off fleebay. It had already been assembled and finished.... with a paint brush. Ugly does not even begin to describe. Sanded it down to bare wood. Stained it and finished with numerous coats of Tung oil. I’d say it gives a slight more matt finish than TruOil. As for the headstock. I don’t know what the guy was smoking when he cut the design out, but my guess is.... he had no plan. All I could do was use my sander to soften the curves and at least try and make it palpable. I added thru body bridge and strings. Also added a four way switch. In the process I killed the neck pup and had to get a new one.
 
Tuned and noodled on this for a few minutes today. Just to exercise it.

So I've been playing only the purple Strat for the last few days, and felt like I was neglecting Serena.

As much as I love the Strat, and my other guitars, no matter which guitar I'm playing when I pick this one up it just feels like home.
