Putting the failure of the last ST1-A project behind. thanks to the guys at Pit Bull for the great customer service. They replaced the faulty kit.
This is a full reset. The first kit was to be a Cherry Burst, this time I am cutting my losses and am doing it in Butterscotch with a Cinamon pick guard and all the silver hardware. in my minds eye it looks good. hope it turns out that way in reality.
Kells - hope #2 goes well. All the best with it and will be watching with interest.
all the best - colours sound nice and classic and edible...
Reset kit has arrived, No return mailing slip for old mate Fauwlty Strat, sort that out later.
Kit unpacked. Neck started first up. Oiled the fret board, and marked out the headstock.
Standard Strat shape. not sure what Vintage it is. I have a PDF with about 7 headstocks. I just picked one I like, it's out of a piece of mdf offcut, for routing after Jigging.
Yeah Yeah I know I need to tidy up my work bench. LOL
Off to Newport next to see if my Son's kit has been left on his door step

your plans sound good Kells, can we please see a picture of the ash body ? always good to see the grain on these
Hi Wokka, No worries. I haven't looked at it yet my self. I opened the box counted the bits and took off to the shed with the neck in hand.
Now this is interesting the grain pattern has a herringbone look to it. this might call for a reassesment of the colour choice for this body and maybe some Black inking. Any suggestions welcome

wow nice grain Paul, has the back of the body been stained ? its got a hint of red in the colour
Hi Wokka,
No this is how it came out of the box, it's pure nude timber. There is no differnece in the front to back. so that red colour may have been caused by the red eye setting on my phone. :) Oh I know what it was, one pic was taken outside the other was inside.
Cheers PK
Hi Paul, maybe the back photo was taken late in the afternoon sometimes gives objects a redish tint.
Anyway you must be happy with the replacement kit, should come up a treat with butterscotch
