I managed to get the pickups, etc, re-installed in the Scratchplate, then I decided to put the Scratchplate on the Gold Strat body now that the White Undercoat had been drying for a few hours, I also put the Gold Jackplate and the original Gold Bridge (minus the screws) on the Scratchplate too, then I couldn't resist the urge to take a pic of the Gold Strat "as it was" for you guys, so here's what the Gold Strat could look like if I was to paint it White instead of Gold, does it look cool or what?:
Maybe I could buy another STA-1M kit at a later date and paint it white, and put gold hardware on it?
