NGD - 79'ish Superstrat

PVO_Dave · October 2016

It's been finished now for just over a week, but first chance I've had to take some proper pictures

The neck and body are from the very talented @GSPBASSES - Pickups from @TheGuitarWeasel and paint from the welsh wizard @lamf68

Build thread here: http://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/75146/79ish-superstrat-build

The finish is absolutely amazing, I was originally going for a block colour, then Rich managed to talk me round with a target burst to match the 79 (ish) look I was going for, very glad he did! The back of the neck is satin, where as the rest is amazingly shiny, was originally planning to make this a 'closet classic' type finish, but when I say the pics of it, I said to polish it up

Anyway, pictures:

The neck on this is sublime, feels like more of a handful than the modern C shape I'd got used to, love it!

Jesus Christ, that looks special now, wish I had the time to do one for myself...

That looks lovely. Well done to the collective FB talent that made it!

I'm not crazy about Superstrats but that is a great looking guitar.
Nice piece of ash, that.

That looks brilliant, love it. Something about that nice dark fretboard looks so inviting.

That looks superb, lovely quality photos as well. Great headstock logo too!

There's tasty

'Wow' duly awarded....

PVO_Dave · October 2016

Thanks all

Glad the logo worked out well, got a lot of 'LOL's in the build thread, but you've got to put something on the headstock and it's most definitely not a Fender
