My Current Project: The Hippie Strat Finished Now (Update 4/30/11)
Here are a few pix of my current project. I call it the Hippie Strat for obvious reasons. Nothing special, really.
Just a goofy project to keep my busy. However, it will play and sound great by the time I'm finished with it.
*Update* She's finished! I added a left-handed MIM Fender Strat neck, my homage to the biggest hippie, Jimi Hendrix.
She plays like butter....and sounds pretty good, although I may change the pups later on. Now it just a set of Dragonfire
pups. But they do the job.
BTW, I made the pickguard...in case anyone is wondering.
Better pix when I finish it.....

That was making my eyes act weird! Cool! Needs some paisley on the body too, or hippy flowers maybe for hippy Barbie style! ;-)
