I started this one with a loaded Squier DuoSonic body I got off ebay for $50.00 and a Squier Mini Strat I bought in the scratch 'n' dent section from Music123 for $80.00. I ebayed the mini Strat body so I had $40.00 in the neck.





The body was pretty banged up once I got all the stickers off. I stripped the black, filled the dings and shot everything with BINs. I had an opaque can of Reranch Butterscotch Blonde that was for a project that I wound up having to sell awhile back after a late night buying spree on ebay.



I added new pickup covers, a set of tele knobs I had in the parts box and a vintage decal.



I shot the neck with tinted neck amber to give it more of a vintage look.



I layed it out to see what it would look like and I thought I'd throw a few pics up. I still need to buff everything out and I'm going to rewire it but I'm very pleased with the way it's turning out. All in all I have less than $150.00 in the whole project and that makes me a happy camper.

I really likes! Great job!

awsome

Good stuff. Stock electronics?

Thanks guys. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while.

Bob, The electronics are stock for the time being. I may do something different down the line but I had it together before I started the refinish and it didn't sound half bad. Any suggestions if I do?

HLYSHT. real nice!

nice job!

i love that color, and the amber thingie effect

Oh hell yeah, dude. Great job. I see some of George's handiwork on that decal.

Yeah. And did you see that I finally found a use for that can of Butterscotch Blonde I was trying to pawn off on ya.

It actually looks pretty cool and has become a new favorite color with me.

Looks kinda orange in the pics but it's actually a real nice butterscotch. The pics don't do the color justice. It's raining so I couldn't get any outside shots today.
