    I just unpacked my Stratocaster.

    All appears okay.

    Well I decided to paint it Silver, and I only did one coat. I was unimpressed with the finish. Maybe it was my poor sanding.

    Cool rotation jig you have there.

    Yeah, the Hunter Street after dark relic version did look good. Do you have blue stripes planned to go on top of that red? Gotta support your local team after all.

    Cheers, Waz
