Well, at least a good approximation. This is what the goal for the final design should look like...

I installed tuners last night... I need to get the rest of the hardware this weekend and install those items.

I can't wait to get it playable.

    you dog, that's awesome. I want one just like it in butterscotch blonde. But I have to find the strat first.

    Notice the black strat knobs for a bit of a custom touch... I will have a signature headstock too.

    I almost stayed up to wire in the pups last night, but I realized I didn't have an input jack... so I held off.

    Goal for today... pickguard, bridge, string ferrules, and setting the pups...

    Then this weekend... wire it up, put on the strap buttons, and finally... test drive.

    the neck is a great profile for my hand... feels very fast.

    I almost want black amp knobs, ala Muddy Waters.

    I really like when the finish is nicked all around the edge creating a faux binding type look that's not perfect. I like that. My LP Studio looks like that.


    I want an ASAT

    maybe, I should put the amp knobs like you suggested...

    we do play Hoochie Coochie Man...

    I am tempted to take the guitar into my tech tonight and have him help me, just to have it ready that much sooner... but I can hold out.

    deluxe knobs (like on the tele deluxe) would look cool but there isn't enough room on the control plate for them. the volume know interferes with the screws holding the switch in.

    try mxr style knobs maybe. they're black and really easy to turn without a good grip like strat knobs need.

    you kick ass man I bid on it. screw it it's only money. That's a good deal. I figure it's another way for me to go look and talk to at the amazingly hot girl working in the apartment office.

    Speaking of cool ebay items...

    I emailed the seller asking about the dimensions... even if it isn't truly from England in the 70s... if it is a big enough mirror... that would look great in my music room.

    I don't even care if the guy made it in his basement...

    I might have to make my own mirror like that.

    i love stuff like that. there's a les paul custom headstock clock at the music store (not for sale) that i'd love to have.

    there is a company that makes coffee tables in the shape of strat or tele headstocks too (licensed by fender) but they're way too expensive.

    somehow classy... and mirrors on the ceiling don't go together in my mind... but I am sure I could make it work.
