hey it's me nikko, some of the older members may remember me from last summer. i was the kid building a parts strat. anyways i have been away for a while (gibson forum ) but now i have decided to come back to talk strats.

i actually have a new project in the works for this summer, thats right another strat! this one will probably be more traditional then my last (a jimi hendrix type strat, phycadelic paint and all. sorry about spelling). i am plannign on building a lefty strat with and ash body, late 60s headstock, van zandt pickups, tobacco burst, b/w/b pickgaurd, x3 single coil PU, 7 way switching (i will explain later), a maple neck and gold hardware.
i will also probably relic it to make it look like a cool vintage strat (give it some mojo).

what do you guys think about my project?
oh and here a picture of my last one (just in case you're curius).

it has a lefty neck too, eventually i will have better pics.

Hey that looks really nice man!! Im sure it plays NICE!! and your project sounds like it will come out really nice....

i'm probably going to put a b/w/b pickgaurd on that one in the pic. i dont really like how that pickgaurd turned out and i think the black one would look better with the rest of the guitar. what do you guys think?

Hello Nikko14,

Welcome back to the forum.

Yes, I would like to see a black pickguard
on your creation, good work.

As always, don't forget the photos.

Cheers
