Very cool. And I love the reverse/flip-flop red-yellow thing. Mucho awesomeness.

Thanks! I was inspired by the Tequila Sunrise finish on the recent Player Plus Strats. I thought Fender didn’t take it far enough with their pickguard. 😂

The deets:
Swamp Ash top with Ash back, Hipshot bridge, SD Classic Stack Plus set, 250v volume and 500k push pull tone to add the bridge pickup to yeild a 7 tone setup.
I have a ‘70’s style Warmoth Strat neck ordered. Boatneck profile, SS wide tall frets, roasted maple w 9” straight radius.
Neck should be here by mid-month.

9" radius, interesting. Did you choose the specs or buy one from the already built gallery?
I had come to hate the big 70's headstock but lately have imagined one on a particular Strat. I've also been thinking about the Tele Deluxe 2 HB models from the 70's that had the Strat neck with the big headstock.
Cool guitar Leftee. Keep us updated with pics.

I like that you got the center line on the burst consistent between the body and pickguard to line up so well. Harder than it looks.

This neck is custom ordered. I wanted to go with a rounder radius on this one.
I like the look of the bigger headstock. Don't know why...

That looks fantastic! Much cooler than the Fender finish. It’s like a really well done version of a “clown burst”. Any plans for a matching painted headstock?

Thanks
No plans to do anything with the headstock.

Very nice Eric! Noiseless with Bell like Tone. My kind of pickup for sure! |

Great idea! Have you tried making the line diagonal across the body?

That’s really great, Leftee.
When I saw the picture in your first post…I thought, very cool, but that neck is not going to be comfortable!
