Olympic White Strat

[SIMpleONe89]

Hey guys,
finished this awhile ago.

Body: Ash strat
Neck: Used an old neck lying around
Inlays: Upgraded to abalone dots
Wood stain: White acrylic paint - we diluted it slightly with water (they only cost $2.50!, but results were amazing!)

Here's how it looked like after sanding the body down and staining it with many coats of the white paint.

And here's what it looked like after spraying numerous coats of acrylic lacquer.

And... it looked really gorgeous after wet sanding with 1200, 1500 and 2000 grit
and buffing it up with MeGuiar's 105 and 205.

Just look at the reflection of the tree outside our balcony!

And here's the final look!

It's so shiny. Looks factory made. Got any pics of the neck in less light? Looks like a nice figure. Great work

Nice one. Good amount of grain showing through from body and like the abalone markers. Great finish

finish is superb, and looks real classy with the tort pick guard and gold bits
