Many Moons
Biking+Blues=Bliss
Long story short. Last year I was given a Squire Strat that wasn't working, and I came on here looking for advice. Dave (BlackCoffeeBlues) offered me a loaded pick guard, totally free of charge, and sent it across the Atlantic for insertion into the Squire. Whilst it was in transit, I got the Squire going, and it is actually quite an amazing sounding guitar.
So, I decided to buy a Strat body & neck and all the accessories for a new build around the pick guard Dave had sent, and with Dave's guidance, and some help on here in Dave's absence, I finally got it finished. And it works!! The neck is quite chunky compared to the Tele Ultra I've been playing recently but I'm sure I'll get used to it. This is probably no big deal to most of you guitar builders on here, but if you only knew my DIY skills you'd appreciate what an achievement this is for me. So a big thank you to Dave, and anyone else who answered my questions along the way.
