  • I am Iron Strat...

    I recently did a body swap on a Strat with a beat up sunburst body.... I know someone who likes the relic look and I don’t. Both bodies are American Standard bodies do not concerned about the swap. Anyways, the new colour scheme wasn’t intended at all... but it tuned in to Tony Starks signature Strat. I think it’s pretty cool at least.

    Add a middle pickup that lights up.

      Not something I would think I'd like if it were described to me...but it sort of works! Congrats on the (new) old guitar!

        I agree,if asked if I was interested in an Iron Man gold and Chrome Red Strat by description alone I’d likely just pass. I’d describe this as a neat chance medley of components. Definitely different than my traditional schemed guitars. Redid the pickguard before assembly with the SSL-5 and SSL-1s in the drawer. The SSL-5 works nice in this one... prior installs lacked appropriate treble/presence. Very happy with the way this looks and sounds.

                and mount it just below the pickups

                or sharpie some black "eye and mouth slits"

                  That bright white maple neck just looks too out of place to me. IMO rosewood would look so much better.

                  I don't know...the whole thing just doesn't look right. I guess it's really not my thing.

                    More than anyone else, my six year old son loves it. He has a a Squire Mini and is big into super heros. Considering I’ve got sunburst/parchment, butterscotch/black, vintage white/parchment, shoreline/pearl Strats, one that’s a bit odd adds a little fun.

                      It's super cool except for the plastics.

                      I would go for black.

                        THIS.

                        Also, looks crazy cool, man. I love the red/gold with the maple board.
