That looks really sharp man....give up some more details, I must have missed the original build thread.
 
Re: A Couple of Shots of Taboo!

that backplate is awesome! now you need a countersunk neckplate too. then you're all set. love this guitar.
 
Re: A Couple of Shots of Taboo!

wow, nice! who did the paintjob?

A very close friend of mine did the graphics. It was done in Urethane's using variegated leaf and white gold. It came out really killer I think. My buddy Robert does mostly work on cars and Motorcycles but he made an exception for me.

He does amazing work and the pics really don't do it justice. It is really hard to capture the detail in the image.
 
Re: A Couple of Shots of Taboo!

thank goodness... for a few min I was expecting pics of that guy from black eyed peas...

Awesome axe!
 
Re: A Couple of Shots of Taboo!

Nice!

Congrats man.

One question, did that used to be a typical Fender or is it a parts job?

It's a Fender body & custom neck. I had Warmoth make a brazillian RW board with 1 11/16th instead of 1 5/8th neck. It has a nice "V" shape to it.

It also has a set of Lindy Fralin blues Specials. I was torn between those & Antiquities, but I already have two other Strats that are equipped with the Ants(both Texas Hots & Surfers) so these were the way to go. The pickups are absolutely killer single coils. They sound just the way you would expect an old 50's Strat to sound.

Bonar.

One of the only strats I have seen that is visually appealing.

Well done.
 
Re: A Couple of Shots of Taboo!

I thought something looked different about the lines around that neckplate, but I didn't know if it was the pic angle or just my bad eyes. Looks nice. I might have to hit Andrizzle up for some engraving once I get my work situation sorted out.
