This is other current build...
This is my very first electric guitar. Some people here might have seen all the pickguard variations it has gone through...Well, blame it on GFS, now it's going through a deep makeover! In fact, only the body will be original.
This is it, stripped and with a cloned Strat neck installed. The body has natural relicing done by 10 years of abuse, getting pawned a couple of times, and falling from a height of six feet. I had to fill the holes and redrill them to fit the neck, and now it's tight!

And here's where GFS enters the picture: I bought one of those Squier 51 pickguards they have on clearance...And it fits great!

It comes pre-drilled with two holes for knobs. One will be turned into the input jack hole, and I will drill another one higher up for the second knob. I also have to install some sort of switch, but I'm still thinking what to put in...

Yep, I'm nuts.
