Hi everyone, Thought id share my first master built stratocaster. Its made by Paul Waller! What you are looking at is a 1968 Jimi Hendrix inspired voodoo strat made for right handers like me.

As you can see from the pics it has a reverse rout bridge pickup (not a swimming pool route) and a reverse 68 maple cap neck. The pickups are custom wound 68's but slightly overwound. Everything else on the guitar is period correct for 1968.

Let me know what you think of my lil gem...and PURPLE...thats right, metallic purple is the color ... my favorite!

I will have it this coming Wednesday...i'm so excited!

Really cool vibe-- not attempting to duplicate one of Hendrix's instruments, but taking the tribute one step beyond-- the purple is a more subtle play on the theme than would be just another Olympic White one.

I hope you have an amp befitting such a nice CS Strat.

I run it through my Fender DeVille. Then I add 2 tube screamers an OCD, Dejavibe, and Wah pedal. Sounds good to me!
