hey guys,

here's what I got so far. still need to buy some pots, pickups, and the pickguard for the back, but so far I'm pretty happy with her. let me know what you guys think, how close did I come to replicating Semie's original finish. enjoy. :D

Thanks Veenture.

this is what i have in mind for the pickups. a seymour duncan 59 trembucker in the bridge (so I can rock out on the marshall) with a coil tap option, and 2 hot noiseless fender strat pickups in the middle and and neck. zero hum, but still gets the fender tone I'm looking for. i'll be really looking forward to finishing this project, it's been a little while since I played my old strat. of course now it has a new body, by hey... lol

next up, my first mosrite clone ;)
