If that thing were tortoise, there'd be a few of us on our way over.

Thanks for the compliments. I haven't stopped playing it since I completed it

The knobs are a close match to the body, but not perfect (close enough though - I may still coffee the white ones I have just to try out that technique). I did some experimenting with the original gotoh tremolo arm attempting to shorten it, which failed miserably. I ordered a fender one and, of course, I forgot to check the threading/size, and it was too small... nothing a few wraps of teflon tape couldn't fix, which in turn made the 'swing' smoother feeling so I'm actually quite pleased with the improvised fix.  :icon_thumright:

Looks great mate.

I'm not a fan of aged white plastic but it certainly looks nice on that cream strat.

As you guys would say on here "+1"

Let's see a closeup of your logo.  I dig the placement.

It's a necklace I've been wearing for a while (tree of life). It just kind of fit nicely... it's held on there kind of loosely right now as I want to inlay it at some point. Just don't have the tools to do so properly yet.
