Oooooooohhh lookin sharp old bean! Reminds me of a natural Stang i saw in a Coventry music shop many moons ago...the f#cker wouldnt sell it to me any cheaper or cut me a deal, even tho he'd had it for yonks

It doesnt much look like a dirty protest to me!
..more of a granny-knitted-much-too-big xmas jumper colour...but it'll sound fappin ace so who gives a toss its poo poo coloured??
Au-Naturel as they say...

What pickup u using?...ive been eyeing up strat jobbies on fleabay..just incase like!

I'm thinking of buying a Strat set, and using them on this and another project.
This kind of thing: Belcat Artec or Ironstone
I'll need to wait until pay day whatever I do. I might have to throw in a temporary rail type pickup if I don't have funds.
My first priority is getting it laquered, again after pay day.

Those Artecs look like they'd melt your face...but yeh budget is a factor...tell me about it!
Although id plump for the Belcats or similar without staggered poles...unless youre not using the closed covers...
Im sure a set of cij pickups would sound fab..

Well, I've been paid and I've bought some laquer.

Updates soon with pics.

Goodstuff coming soon then old chap! Thats great news...I've been creative with a bit of paint mixing myself, tryna come up with a gold/green sparkle mix..for my Jazzer build, learning curve all the way!!

Ive also got some 7k pickups comin my way courtesy of eBay, so it looks like I'm following your example with a mustang or bronco build too!..inspiring stuff!..

Well, it's a fucking GUITAR!
Quick recap; 1piece Mahogany body, Squier mini strat neck, Rail pickup (for now), 500k pots, Witch-hat knobs, toploader bridge,

I've still got to put a few screws in the pickguard, and ideally I would like to have a different pickup.
Still needs setting up, but I'm happy with it so far.
BTW I tuned it up to G# (like standard tune capo'd on 4th fret)

that looks really, really great. i'd be delighted to hear the rail in the neck position.

very impressive. the new mustangs should have had their guards cut like that.
