So the story here is, I got a loaded American strat pick guard in a PIF at Christmas. Recently a fiend gave me the body and neck, thinking the body had a miss drill issue. I didn't experience any issues, so, on with the build. I wanted to make it a hard tail, but it was routed for big block, so I just tightened it all the way down. I've only got about 100.00 in hardware total. Sounds like an American strat, got the action pretty low, so it plays well. I don't know what kind of wood it is, but it's very light weight. Anyway,

Thanks, don't tell anyone, but I'm learning how to transition from bass player to guitar player! I've been playing my whole life, but it's time to get better. I'm making use of all these pedals I've built.

Nice work - and that's maybe my favorite strat color. Sage green!

Beautiful.  Love the color too.  I'm a sucker for strats.  You should have timbo wind some pups for it;)

Love the color!  I just paid $75 for a crappy Squier Bullet Strat - getting yours for $100 is sweet.
