Self-Customized Strat


This Strat started it's life as a 1997 Fiesta Red CA Strat.

Re: Self-Customized Strat


Has the customization mainly to do with the artwork, or did you customize something in the engine (pickups etc)?

Nice artwork, BTW!

Re: Self-Customized Strat


Pickups were changed to Kinmans in the neck and middles and a bridge pup fronm a '62 reissue was used.

Other parts as you can see were bought elsewhere, pickguard was custom with a digital photo placed under the clear plastic, knobs,etc. and neck was bought from Warmoth.

Re: Self-Customized Strat


the shot of hendrix at Monterrey is under the clear plastic
pick guard, so it can't be damaged!

But, you're right, i don't play it much as I have another favorite Strat for playing-plus the hendrix strat is a little over the top to gig with; although i don't play out anyway; but i couldn't see using it if I did.
