Starting this for my first build, I'm looking to do a hardtail strat. I've always loved Billy Corgan and I've also fallen in love with fender seafoam and surf green finishes, so I've thought what the hell.
Adam was kind enough to let me swap in a maple fretboard, Grovers, and I've picked City Limits pups as an upgrade for now as I'm sure as hell not springing for Lace sensors when I'm not sure I'll even be able to pull this off.
Not much action right now but I thought I'd start the thread as my first constructive action.
One piece of advice I'd like if anyone wants to weigh in is the finish. I really like the Wudtone Surfer Girl pics on their website and I've seen a tele finished in it that I loved (http://www.pitbullguitars.com/wp-con...er-2-of-16.jpg). I've also seen a strat finished in it in the galleries here (http://pitbullguitars.com/wp-content...Girl-Front.jpg) and the two look quite different to me. I'd prefer to end up with a finish like the tele if possible, anyone have tips?
I've also looked at the rattle can fender style paints from sydney guitar setups but I can't go past the Surfer girl for now if I can get it right.
