Yeah that looks really good.

I've been itching to do another refin job. I bought a MIM strat last week for $150 that has some scratches and chips in it, it would be good to refin.

I wanted to do a green one also, but more like the 1956 Green Strat that's in the Stratocaster book, by A.R. Duchossoir. It says it's a metallic green, but doesn't really look metallic in the pic.

I don't know if I'll redo it or not. Have to see if I can find some better pics of the color.

Welcome to the Forum Bride of Kong :D ... 30 days for the laquer to cure? OMG Looks like time for more alcohol, volcanoes, and cats... unless we start a new tradition for Kong... that was an awsome color choice by the way.

That color looks fantastic. It seems that I lose track of these build threads. I just stop getting notifications. Glad I found it again.

Ceri, I interpreted that as an invitation to join the forum, so here I am. :D I am not musical in the least, but I've sure learned alot from watching/listening to my sweetheart. I'm sure we'll have more hiking/traveling pics as the summer goes on. We'll definitely put up some of my upcoming trip to Washington once I return. Thanks for encouraging Kong as he refinishes his guitar, and definitely ask him "Is it ready yet?" once he's done with the clear coats...he'll LOVE that (sarcasm intended!)

Hi Future-Mrs-Kong: welcome to the Forum! A great honor and pleasure to meet you, ma'am. :D

Bride of Kong: my own better half has many, many virtues. However, hiking ain't amongst them. I love to go for long walks across the landscape - but I walk alone. :(

But that doesn't have to be. If you and your fella care to pay a visit sometime we'll leave Mr Kong and Mrs Ceri in the pub (that's how much I trust her) and we'll take off across my local scenery - talking alluvial fans, long shore drift and Mercator projections to our hearts' content. Tempted? Maybe some pix will help further. My local landscape isn't as dramatic as yours, to be sure, but it's quite pretty in its own right. Here's a couple of shots I took yesterday - this is in the National Park of Dartmoor in the South West of England:

Image

Dartmoor gets its name from the small but beautiful River Dart. Here is an upper section of it, with me looking out from beneath New Bridge (built in 1413):

Image

Dartmoor is in the county of Devon - after which the Devonian Era in geology was named. In fact, the science of geology was kind of invented round here - to this day if you Google various geological features the photos you will find illustrating them will like as not be taken at places I can take you to. Strange but true! It's an earth scientist's paradise round here, Mrs Kong! :D

Anyway. I just plant the thought in your mind... :D

Now then. Is it ready yet? :lol:

Cheers guys - C

Excellent work there Kong. I haven't commented before now, but I have been watching.

While we wait for the next month's curing process, tell us about hardware - pickups (cover colour etc). I am assuming that the mint green scratchplate pictured earlier in the thread will be going on?

Thanks for the welcome 8) Kong and I have bounced the idea of a trip across the pond back and forth, with the idea that we would have a Ceri/Kong meet and greet, with a pub visit and a walkabout included in the to do list. I don't think Kong would choose to be left behind in the pub, because he likes to wander the countryside right along with me, even if it's climbing sheer cliffs with his paralyzing fear of heights :) He's quite the trooper! In my classwork, we've studied the history of Geology, and I'm keenly aware of Hutton, Lyell & Smith, and how their early work shaped what we now take as scientific truth. It's so cool that you're right there, where it all started! I like the "New Bridge", circa 1413 :lol:

Our little corner of the planet isn't all as dramatic as what Kong has posted. There's lots of flat, fluvial-influenced ground around, and that's more like what we see. Maybe I'll take a walk this week and put up some new pics.

I LOVE the guitar playing monkeys! And I'll also add my own
Is it ready yet?
to the questions Kong will face the next time he logs onto the forum.

Yeah, I just dropped that one in cos I thought it might amuse you (it's true, though)... :lol:

Also our local pub claims to have been founded in 1028 - or nearly half past ten, as my wife says. Interestingly, that seems to be about a hundred years before the church that stands next to it. Draw your own conclusions! :D

And seriously for a second, there really would be a very warm welcome waiting this side of the pond if the Kongs felt like visiting. From me - and I bet several others on this thread.

It's a friendly place, the Fender Forum, ain't it? :D

Cheers - C

It sure is a friendly place! With the idea of a nice warm welcome, we'll have to consider the trip a bit more seriously. And the same goes if the Ceris, etc. want to come Stateside.

The half past ten pub crawlers needed someplace to go after a hundred years of praying to the middle ages version of the porcelain god :lol:
