    Relic Strat

    Hello, this is my first post and entry into the GOTM. I have been building this strat in between beers on Friday nights with the boys at 4D Guitars ! Thanks Wokkaboy and Wayne. Its a standard kit with Tarkine Green stain. Ive gone for a relic worn look inspired by Francis Rossi from Status Quo who has a 50's telecaster with a strat pick up configuration. It also features Francis Rossi's trademark hole drilled straight thru the body ( which he apparently did back in the day to help prevent his guitar lead from pulling out of the jack) The boys at 4D have got me hooked into this guitar building thing and im on my second build but have lost track of the beers !

    The black/green combo looks sweet and I especially like that headstock shape, wicked job Rozza!

    well done Rozza for a first build you really excelled and learnt so much. Was good fun guiding you through the build. You got the most out of the kit. Many more great builds to come from you no doubt
