Pimp my Strat

So yeah, I was bored of my white Strat. Due to idol worship, I just had to buy Shad's black SD JB, and then I figured I needed somewhere to put it. Cue Fat Strat, and me wanting to get a bridge pickup tone that didn't suck dick. I bought a black fat Strat pickguard, and then figured I'd go for that black on black Kurt Strat look, only with a white body and white knobs. I decided to take the second tone knob out and replace it with a buckethead push to break switch too. I got some new vintage tuners that don't suck too.

Here's what it looks like:

Now I'm just waiting for Shad to fucking send the pickup that started all of this. After I paid him for it, I impulse bought everything else from GuitarFetish and GuitarPartsResource, the GF package arrived and Shad hasn't even sent out the pickup yet. What a loser.

I'm getting two push/pull pots, one's for coil split, but I can't remember what I wanted the other one to do.

I thought you were going to pay me for the Tele Custom and then I'd ship them together to SAVE YOU MONEY?

Why won't you let me help you? I want to teach you to SUCK YOUR OWN DICK.

Shh, I won't to make a public mockery of you, for not sending me the fucking pickup.

I was actually shocked when you offered that deal, it took a moment to register, I had presumed you'd sent the pickup out the next day, but I guess you used your future vision to predict that waiting would save me money?

I need people to post in here telling me it looks fucking awesome so I don't feel bad about spending money on the guitar.

What's the white glob below the jack socket hole?

Nice one though, the guitar looks cool. I love back on white, so much cooler in every way to white on black.

That's my apple sticker, I was expecting at least one person here to comment on how stupid it is:

And thanks. I almost sold out and put tortoise on it, but then I came to my senses and realised tortoise is overrated and black on white is awesome. I can't wait 'til this is all wired up, it's gonna sound awesome.

Not having screws is stupid

I bought a Shuffle the other day for a laugh. It comes with mini Apple stickers. Kinda cute.

Tort would look better, and get a white Robroe for the bucker.

An Apple sticker is always welcome. Throw some circuitry in there!
