This guitar has been living in my head for about 20 years. I had always wanted a Seafoam Green Strat. I had just never found one I liked or attempted to build one. Well, a couple of months ago, a friend texted me that a Seafoam Green Strat body was on Craigslist in a town about an hour away. I ended up buying the body and the "project" began. This guitar represents the culmination of everything I've wanted in a Strat-type guitar.
Here's the specs...
