Noob inquiring about finishing a strat black

Thanks Corsair.
I get your point and if I was trying to put out the best guitar ever I would definitely go down that road. Another option would be to buy a cheap Squier and improve it. I can do a bit of fretwork, adjust the neck, upgrade the electronics, etc.
However. in this case as I'm trying to build something for my son and I would prefer to do as much as I can myself, even if it's not top notch. I think he would appreciate that more.
Cheers
Christian

Personally I wouldn't buy a cheap Squier, I have a Classic Vibe Thinline that is brilliant but you would spend close to 3 times as much for this as you would for an Affinity ( the last best street price I found in Oz was close to a gorilla, I paid $500.00 in Bali three years ago )
