For the fan of all things Fender, here's a Stratocaster wrapped in the grille cloth, tolex and hardware of a '70s silverface amp. https://goo.gl/a4EdDj

The neck on that doesn't look like a Fender neck

-I think it's a CBS style headstock. I doubt they'd go to so much trouble to make a guitar like that with a non Fender neck.

Skunk strip?

I like the idea of a leather clad body, I think that would be cool. I think the grille cloth and badge render it as no more practical than wall art.

Let some current guitar hero show up on stage with that as a 'regular' axe and see how fast it doesn't become wall art but rather a Custom Shop offering. Where there's a profit to be gained, FMIC will find the way. :wink:

It's too small for a CBS headstock and there is no walnut plug around the truss rod hole .my guess is mighty mite or similar

I've noticed a lot of Fenders don't have "skunk" necks -Jimi's famous white '68 strat has no skunk on it's neck!! Neither did Ritchie Blackmore's. Neither do most Japanese Fenders....so I don't see what you're getting at!

Well Dan the tolex strat is definitely a parts guitar. IMHO neckplate and rear pickup look like non fender the neck possibly too.
Having said that the neck is may be a cheap squier neck with the decals changed
I have been wrong before of course... :D

To me that's the most beautiful Strat, the Custom Shop made that dream come true.

Beautiful. Tasteful and not overstated.
