It looks great and the fretboard seems wide and flat. Is it a 12" radius?

No, just the regular specs of a '70s Strat: U shape with a 7.25" radius.

But minus 1 to the Custom Shop for such a lack of taste in the finishing.

Suppose they operate on the old axiom:'You can please some of the people some of the time. You can please some of the people all of the time. You can't please all of the people all of the time.".....except....when the people are paying the freight. Went that route with them over the neck they never got right.

Nice piece, Alain. Has that certain je ne c'est....well....you know :wink:


Oui c'est ça... :wink:
My question was: why they (the CS) didn't follow Pamelina H. idea about the finishing ?

Valid enough question Alain, the white pickguard etc .. just looked out of place IMO, nice to see it back to black ( song in there somewhere) :roll:


ps, looking at headstock pic, is the string tree out of line or trick of the light perhaps, or, just my inexperience :?

Just the light or a very slight angle when I reinstalled the strings.

Cool, again great looking strat, (a thought), don't you think a case with same graphics would be a little cherry on the top for these strats

It means asking Pamelina H. Well a substantial addition to the cost if it's a One-Off.
The supplied case is the black one (at least ) :roll:
