Thanks Tony for your support, I hope all goes well on this project. We do not have a lot of experience in this field but are keen to learn. We did take a Squire Strat and redo as a SRV by sanding, staining and changing the pick ups to Fender Texas and tuners to Fender gold pearloid - Bridge to a vintage left hand tremolo - quite happy with how it turned out. We are huge SRV fans but could not afford to buy the real relic. We do have the Fender version that was released for everybody, but this does not have the relic done to it & I really like Stevie's number one guitar.
