So my kids had been trying to play with one of my guitars every time I picked one up so I figured I would build something a little closer to their proportions. Order a custom ST-1JR back in Jan then we know the rest. It finally arrived early June and had been hanging around climatising ever since.
I figured it should all be humidity adjusted by now so time to kick in. The kids haven’t agreed on a colour yet, I’m trying to persuade them so go with something close to the EVH rocket red, since that was part of the inspiration for some of the custom changes.
So the kit is the 3/4 size strat, I ordered it without the term route, it’s getting drilled out and ferrules for a string-through funk machine “hitmaker” style. Order a maple fretboard to pop against an iridescence colour scheme.
Headstock and end of the fretboard got some roughing in treatment today, ready for the lightning bolts that need to be incorporated into the finish.
