I built this strat in memory of my mom and decided to make it a one trick pony. How's it looking?? waiting on some Gold Grover Mini locking tuners.

when first built it looked like this

Looks like it will rock.

For my tastes, the pale mint green pickguard belongs with a Sixties style Stratocaster - rosewood fingerboard, small headstock. I would have preferred the cream and gold parts against a Parchment plate.

That's just me. Take no notice.

I really like it as is. Black and white.

Re: parts caster getting a makeover

i think it looks good due to it simplicity. i do think maybe a gold knob might look better but ill play it a bit with the current to see how it sits with me.

And plus its one of the most rare to find custom color vintage Strats- Black, White and Maple. Like Claptons 'Blackie'. Reminds me of my original 1970 "Hendrix " Strat I had when I was a teenager that was mint I traded away for peanuts.

Re: parts caster getting a makeover

yes. its loosely based off blackie. I wanted to make it more my own. Hence the mint green guard and a single breed pickup
