A friend of mine is retiring at the end of this year. He is a guitarist and used to have a strat but it was a heavy ash one and he didnt like it. I have decided to make him a strat and picked the lighter basswood option. I also have an ulterior motive as I would like to test out a vintage butterscotch finish using tinted F&W liming paint. Keeping it standard at the moment and may upgrade things later. The neck fits quite well and the body is good. Here are some pics.
