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!
Dave.

Nice piece of ash, that.
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
