My Voodoocaster

[Kei]

The knobs no longer white.. i changed it to a Gibson speed knob so that it could 'blend' better..

I'm such a sucker for reverse headstocks. Got one on order. Can't wait to get it and slap it on my strat. Great looking Strat!

I built a very similar guitar. I found a smokin deal on some DG20's and I had just ordered the LR Baggs bridge. The body I used was a 57RI and I put a 70's RI neck on it. That body and neck were awesome. I won them both on auction from the stratoshere. I have picked up some really good deals there. Anyway that was such a badass guitar. I had a friend over while I was doing the final setup on it. He immediately fell in love with it. $1500 and an hour later and it was his. I never really had a chance to bond with it. I made a switch box for it to route the seperate signals to my pedalboard and to my powered monitor. It was a really cool setup and I think I would have loved it. I jammed on it a few times with my setup and it was pretty cool. I might do it again :dontknow:. I saw a video from Pete's guitar tech and that kind of sparked the whole thing. Awesome build dude.

Well, the body is a fender... and I made a custom finishing touch to the name.. it says Keinocaster in japanese instead of the normal stratocaster

As long as you do not misrepresent a parts-o-caster as genuine Fender or produce such guitars for sale there is no lawsuit, CSI, FBI, CIA, IRS, KGB or Mother Theresa issues with plastering Fender on everything you have. All of mine get Fender decals including one I showed to a Fender Factory Rep. Another guy standing by wanted to know where he could obtain a decal and I told him eBay.
On the other hand Fender now has a compound radius neck offering perhaps they should pay Warmoth a licensing fee? Since for some it's a matter of decal conscience let's say some player short on knowledge buys a Fender compound radius neck they'll most likely assume it's a Fender concept. That scenario in a manner of thinking would seem to leave Warmoth in the cold. The fact is, sooner or later people talk and when the buyer mentions compound radius to a tech, etc. chances are good Warmoth gets a mention and Fender takes the back seat. When someone sees the Fender name on your build, Fender gets mentioned. In other words, if they're not talking about you they're forgetting about you...You're doing them the favor.
