The kit arrived today and everything seems to be present and in great condition.
I have wanted a Strat for 45 years so finally I will have one.. Probably could have gone out and bought one but this will be much more satisfying..
We live on a boat so will have to work when at anchor or in port.
As for a finish, I am thinking a Jeff Beck look, with " Surfer Girl" and maybe an "Amber" neck. Will sleep on it for a couple of days.
An excellent choice of guitar, enjoy the build Dengreg
good choice Dengreg, surfer girl strats look awesome. Making the build a bit more challenging doing it on a boat !
Best of luck

Hey DG, when it's finished you'll be able to literally "rock the boat"
Bet I'm the first one to say that (not)
These kits are tremendous fun and recreation as I'm sure you'll agree once you get started.
Best of luck with your build Dengreg, you'll love it!!
Take your time, and pick the calmer days to work on it.
Cheers

Welcome to the clan, man. You're certainly in for an experience using your boat as a workshop. That being said though, how big's your boat? If it's 100 feet then you'll have no problems. However, if it's a 125, well....
Enjoy your build and please post often. We all love to watch these things come to life.

Welcome Dengreg, good choice for a starter. What sort of boat do you live on?
Cheers,

We live on a 47 foot yacht. It is a Stuart pilothouse sloop. Enjoy every minute of it.
I am looking forward to the challenge of the guitar.
Very nice. Weren't they a bit of a limited edition or something? You'll have to let me know if you head to the Whitsundays, I'd love to check her out in the flesh. Love sailing./<\\/p>[]<\\/p>/Quote from Dengreg on February 17, 2014, 21:39
