Finished building my homemade version of an American Professional Stratocaster. Just needs a little fine tuning and the addition of some strap buttons. Really like the sound of the Fender V-mod pickups. It's got Fender Am. Pro wiring, with the change of the 2nd tone pot to a blender pot. I used an unfinished Warmoth swamp ash body that I finished with some great CrystaLac products (sanding sealer, grain filler and clear coat - easily the best and easiest clear finish I've ever applied), an Allparts neck I finished with Tried and True wood finish (combo of oil and wax), Sperzel locking tuners, Tone Ninja nut and a Gotoh 510 tremolo.

The grain in that body really pops! Absolutely beautiful.

I'm still a bit envious of you guys that can do this sort of stuff and have it come out like that.

It does look beautiful.

Still got the Blues!
I likes that wood grain!! And your choice of the tortoise pick guard and fret board really set it off nicely!! Better play it now and get it some great Mojo!! :Beer:
