Decided to put a Fender decal on since the guitar is all Fender bits apart from the custom neck
Hence the reason it being masked off to protect from the nitro spraying over the decal.
The body is from a Mexican Strat: probably a factory second because there is a minor imperfection in the cavity routing which you can't see anyway - bought from eBay for 40 quid.
The pickups and hardware are from a standard USA and Jap strat, just bits that I had lying around from previous guitars that had been upgraded.
The neck was made by a luthier friend. It's a compound radius neck which means basically the it has a normal profile near the headstock to make it easy to play chords and becomes flatter nearer the top frets to make it easier to play your Steve Vai licks and show off your chops.
Just needs a few more nitro layers on the headstock, flatting off with wet and dry, fit the string guide and strings.
