This one is still a work in progress. I had been wanting a Hendrix styled Strat, and nearly pulled the trigger on one of the Fender MIM Strats, but decided to build my own. I picked up a botched relic job on a cheap Asian Strat with an Allparts neck. I stripped the body and did a purple dye job with Tru Oil. I bought a Warmoth neck reverse RH neck and a reverse slant pickguard. The junker Strat had a universal route, which allowed me to reverse the pickups.
The neck is flame maple with dark Indian rosewood. I was looking for something different, and I happened across patina copper veneer.
Decided to do a dyed headstock.
Needed a neckplate for the vibe, and found this:
And of course, the right strap.
But, the crappy seven-piece body has to go. So, to replace it is a Warmoth one piece alder body, purple dye with MinWax wipe on poly.
A few more coats of poly and I can transfer the parts over to their new home.
