2008 Violet RC HT strat body
Custom made (supposedly)bound neck.Takes some getting used to as this is a fatter neck than my other guitars.
GFS overwound vintage pups.
Fender tuners I got from Dots a while ago.
The bridge pup cover is whiter than the other 2,and I NEED to find a yellowish,cream or summit like that PG.

i think itd look really nice with normal white strat knobs.

otherwise, amazing. i love that purpley color, and dots and binding is the best. and, there arent enough hardtail strats around.

mustang knobs look great
the gfs pole spacing is way off from other pickups, get your covers from them to insure they'll fit
ran across that problem before :oops:
but nice strat! how are the gfs overwounds?

I had the covers laying around,I still need the proper color for the bridge pup.The neck and mid pup line up perfect,the bridge pup misses the mark because it's angled but I don't think it really affects the sond noticebly.The knobs are off something else and are slightly bigger than mustang knobs.
