Finished a fun strat

[blakejcan]

Well almost done. Warmoth body and this is my first neck I’ve done from scratch. We shall see how it plays

looks good tho!

 

[beaubrummels]

Pretty cool. Purple metal flake and racing stripes with gold hardware - nice combo. Sporty and classy.

 

[JOLLY]

I dig the purple sparkle.

 

[Mincer]

I love that color, too!

 

[GuitarStv]

Looks great. I love the black fretboard with the purple sparkle.

 

[playas]

Well done, looks great!

 

[solspirit]

That looks awesome, you need to do one in a deep dark emerald green.

 

[GuitarDoc]

Yes, it definitely "looks good".

Love the purple color. Did the body come that color or did you paint it?

Ebony fretboard?
What is the neck width at the nut, and what fretboard radius did you put on it?

 

[Mincer]

And what are the pickups?

I painted the body and neck myself. I have a big box of Big Daddy Roth metal flakes that I am having fun with lately. I think my next tele project will steal a bunch of lowrider paint designs with a gross amount of sparkles

Yes, ebony fretboard. Neck is a 9.5" radius. I'd have to measure the width at the nut but so far it's looking like it's going to work fine with the pre-slotted tusq nut I bought.

The pickguard is a black metal thing that I bought off of Stratosphere that came pre-loaded. I think the pickups are Fender custom shop 69's? Shoot. I can't remember now.

Cool! How does it sound? How does it compare to other strats?

 

[blakejcan]

I'll let you know in a day or two. Still working on the nut & setup today. I've been diddling on it a bit and the neck profile feels great. I'm stoked on that. We'll see how my so-so fretwork turns out. Having trouble getting it to not fret out past the 9th fret

Love the color. Love the pinstripe. Nice job.
