Here is a video and song to demo the new strat...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tb_RId63t2c&feature=youtube_gdata

Here's the headstock with medallion and two Swarovski crystal eyes.

The luthier just got the body back...

I play in a home studio... no danger of anything happening. It's meant to be a showpiece, but playable (for my purposes). Otherwise, I would have integrated the concepts elsewhere (on the front) of...

This is the trem cover mockup... you will have to imagine the brick wall trem cover pictured above (as opposed to the brown cardboard below)... and where each screw is placed (six in total) will be a...

I decided to incorporate the moon somewhere on the body (perhaps just behind the bridge or directly on the pickguard in 'space'). For the headstock, I'm adding this medallion at the end of the...

The wiring is done on the pickguard (pickup covers to be added later). The tip switch and jack plate will be in black, to blend with the guitar body. Electronics are pretty heavy duty stuff as well...

The headstock will have a small pig's head with crystal eyes. As well, will
be this one-inch lunar-tic moon face:

As for the back, the trem cover will have The Wall concept:

And where each 'screw' is on the trem cover will...

I should include Anya's information, since she does incredible work and others may be interested:

A closer look:

OK, the base coat for the guitar is curing (which is why I'm slow on getting photos for that end of the project), but Anya has finished the strap... all hand done... with Swarovski crystals making up...

I should be getting a pickguard with electronics photo soon. In the meantime, Anya has been working diligently on the strap; with construction and hand painting finished, crystals are next!...

I received some photos from Anya, who is busy plugging away at the custom strap:

LOL. It takes a woman's touch to take the design to that level. I'm into pushing the limits on decoration, etc. (if you recall the JEM custom I had built), which makes me anxious to see the...

When I told Anya (the talented custom strap designer and maker) about the concept of this guitar, and how it will be very showy (including the black paint with silver metallic flake), she was not...

Stone Tones

http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff443/logicbdj/stone-tones_zpsd0e7755b.jpg

Amazingly, these plectrums do not sound harsh and they certainly do not feel rough on the fingers or...

I suspect Timber Tones may be a hidden secret in the plectrum world, at least in North America. In my travels I could not find any Canadian distributors, and music shops I visited never heard of the...

Intended Paint Effect:
A black base with sporadically placed silver flakes. This will give the illusion of stars and star clusters. The pearl will be the outer layer. Its effect will be a rainbow...

The luthier should be sending me paint chip sample soon, which I'll post. In
the meantime, I ordered some Gilmour strings to help complete the package. I
never tried them and so I'm curious. ...

For the past year or so I've been using Timber-Tone picks (they specialize in various woods, but also bone, horn and stone... and in different shapes and contours). Around the time this guitar is...

I have a talented custom-strap maker on board, who will be designing a
Gilmour/Floyd tribute strap (one of a kind) to go with the guitar. I'll be
posting photos and info as it comes to me. This...

That's Gilmour's setup... do a Google on "all on Gilmour mod" and it should be the first graphic you see (which is larger).

Although the tribute 'look' obviously does not resemble the Black Strat, I am
keen on obtaining the same pickup tones (which is why I'm going with Brian
Porter, as he hand-makes to specs), as...
