Thanks for the comments-both for and against. Have very little free time to work on it so it’s been sitting. I really dig the color combo and the Rosewood looks much better after a coat of bore oil on it. Hoping to get it wired up today but might have to wait as I’m out of town during the week.
Finally got around to finishing the Strat. Got a Fralin baseplate soldered up for the bridge pickup--works like a champ!
Pretty cool setup for the Fender Fat 50s with a 7-Way switch to add the N+B and N+M+B to the traditional 5-way switching.
Love the Rosewood neck--feels and sounds great. Not 100% sold as I may want to eventually check out a Roasted Maple+Rosewood fretboard on this guitar BUT it definitely has me being thankful for having a Strat back in the fold right now!
Thanks! It turned out way better than I had hoped! Need to adjust the pickups a bit though. Thank you very much! Those clips were just straight from my Strat to a Vertex Steel String pedal into my iPhone. Lots of fun!
Thanks! I wasn't quite sure how the color scheme was going to work out--swapped out the white knobs for Rosewood knobs and it all tied together (to me at least!)
