nice work Denis, this will look fantastic when its finished, love the headstock logo.
How many more clear coats you estimating for the neck/body ?

Thanks Wok
The neck will have at least 3 coats and the body maybe a couple more than that. Really looking forward to the coming together of the neck and body.

Headstock looks great, it's a really nice finishing touch. It's gonna be an axe to behold when it's all done. I'm seriously considering building one of these next.

The logo is very classy, mate. It's going to be a great Strat.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement. The top coats are a slow process here in very cool Hobart. "Teaching patience Grasshopper" - Old Master.

Hi Gav
The photo doesn't show the outline as it is in real life. However I am pleased with the result. Used laser print decal paper so didn't have to spray the decal with acrylic as required with ink jet paper.

Cheers Denis

Got to stage of a mock build. Shielding done. Next the technical bits of neck, bridge setup etc...
A bit of lighter colour show through in spots but makes it look nicely aged.

looking almost complete Denis, that looks excellent the mock build, you must be very pleased with the results. With any luck you will be able to string it up and test it out !
