I started to put back together the Strat project i started ages ago.

I've toyed around with different ideas on this but basically i wanted a Strat guitar with a quirky twist to it, all on a big budget!!

I designed a SP half Strat/half Jazzy that Aug was good enough to make for me (brilliant job Aug 😉 ), got the neck w/machine heads off ebay for 20 quid and a fully loaded Squier body for 30 quid.

The knobs are off an old 70's 'Top Twenty' guitar, i lost the middle pup (Jaguar influence) and fitted a gibson style toggle switch, i'm still waiting on electronic parts for the rythym section so i've temporarily wired in a 'Killswitch' for some Morello madness.

The pup covers would look better 'vintage white' against the mint sp imo and i'm considering spraying/lacquering the headstock black so its matching.

Here's a few pics...

One other thing i've done, i dont know if anyone has tried a Malmsteen Strat but i quite like scalloped fretboards. So i decided to scallop the 12th fret onwards (like some Ibanez models).

I'll get some better pics up when its complete.

Let me know what you think 😆
