1970 and 1990 sounds about right. You might be on to it Woks.Originally Posted by wokkaboy
Looking trippy as there, Darwin. That was a very quick build!
'As long as there's, you know, sex and drugs, I can do without the rock and roll.'
I just googled the dates and they are the dates of their deaths

Yeah its my Tribute Strat to JIMI and STEVIE yes JH Sept 18 1970 and SRV Aug 27 1990. Yes I hand painted the Front and Back with an Oil paint, then clear coated the front and the back and haedstock left the sides neck without clear coat so it will scuff up and get that natural relic look

I have intonated it and need to get some new strings then I will post a sound sample
I am going to build a Telecaster as a Tribute to the most underated guitarist and even Jimi said he couldn't compete with > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_dq5xuDP2A
