My project..

[Tonto]

Hi all  !!

I received a package from Warmoth today. I'm finally able to start my project i've always
wanted to do..well at least since i was 16 years old, now i am 34yo.  :icon_smile:!
I will change the pickquard to black one, after that i think it will look so perfect for me.

Sweet, EMG's and a Floyd....Love it, BTW, I think it looks just fine with the PG  you have on it... :headbang1:

 

[Nando Vallart]

Looks very cool! think you should put a Pearloid or 1-ply white pickguard, would be ace!
You cut the headstock in this shape??

Why Tonto? Is this your real name?? Where are you?

 

[Tonto]

Thank you guys!!

The neck is actually an old original Valley Arts neck from 1987 and manufactured by Warmoth of course.
Thank you for the tips, i did liked your ideas very much  :icon_smile:!!.

Tonto is pretty much my nickname and i live in Finland. Greetings to all  :icon_smile:

Great, the meaning of "tonto" in portuguese probably is very different than in Finn :laughing7:
Grettins from Brazil!

Hah hah..i think i know what you mean  :laughing7:!. In here it doesn't really have a meaning, it only means:
"Guy with a great axe..i mean soon will have anyway"  :icon_biggrin:


Thank you so much for welcoming me here!!

PS: now I saw the pic with white pickguard and I think it look the best!
I saw some blue strat with black pickguard and didn't like it very much, but it's very personal taste...

Is this a sort of Steve Lukather tribute build?  I want to do one of those...

 

[Death by Uberschall]

I like the black perloid. White perloid would look great also.

You are right about that. This is kind of my tribute to his "Robot"-guitar.
It is my favourite guitar of all time and i've always wanted my version of it.

Blac on seems to get more votes here  :icon_smile:

The black pearloid looks more "custom", and white pickguards always work on strats. I'd say you can't go wrong.

I always think late 80s/early 90s when I see black pearloid or tort on solid finishes like this.
