My first build.

A new strat! Pics commencing.  :guitarplayer2:

 

[AdmiralKracken]

Oh joy! The boxes are here!

And the beautiful Black-Red-Yellow burst! I love it, thanks Warmoth.  :icon_thumright:

And the Goncalo Alves neck with Pau Ferro fretboard. It's also a fatback neck. Thank goodness I have big hands!

I went ahead and skipped all of the boring wiring stuff, so here's what the finish product may look like. It's just the pickguard held on with tape since I still have some holes to drill. Also, feel free to comment or ask questions.

Im loving those color choices homie.  That black pickguard - usually something Id think of as completely generic - really ties it all together.  The pickups are sweet as well.

Well done

You know, I even like the color of  that painter's tape on the thing... any chance of getting some blue knobs on this badboy?

:headbang: The red/black combo is striking!  Very cool.  2 things:

You guys who play with no fretboard inlays are impressive!  I don't think I could do that. and . . .
WHAT IS that big black tube-looking thing at the tip of your neck pick-up?  I've never seen anything like it before. ???

It looks like a black lipstick pickup.  I only knew of the chrome ones.

I figured there was some crazy puppies going in there when I saw the swimming pool. I am kind of curious to see what is expected of this strat.
