Hey guys,
Here’s my entry: the ‘Red Plywood Strat’
This was a full renovation of a very distressed old strat body and neck that a friend left me.

The body was sanded back to wood, adapted to replace the bridge single coil by a humbucker, dyed red with colortone, and finished with gloss wipe on poly.
The neck is natural, also finished with gloss wipe on poly.
Plastic fret markers were replaced with paua
Electronics:
* Entwistle pickups (from PBG): 2 x XS62N for neck and middle, and 1x Nemesis AFG Bridge humbucker
* CTS pots with orange drop capacitor
* Schaller MegaSwitch E to allow combining individual coils from the bridge humbucker with the neck or middle single coil pick up. This offers 4x humbucking positions out of 5x instead of the standard 3x. More explanation here:
