(I posted this over at Strat-Talk but I figured you guys here like pictures too..)

Okay, so I picked up a Desert Sand CP 50's body w/ hardware for a starting point. I moved the gold hardware to my CP 60's Strat CAR body that has a CP 50's loaded pickguard and CP 50s neck. The pickguard is a plexi gold version used awhile back on Am Deluxe Strats... Yeah, I know -- 11 hole pickguard isn't true to the 50's Strats and I should replace the switch and pickup screws with gold screws..

Now, what to do with that Desert Sand CP 50s body?.... more on that later..

Anyway, here are a few pix:

Very nice 8)
Suggestion... The aged white/cream colored pup covers, knob and switch tip would look sharper than the regular white on there now.
Still... Awesome Strat... the pickgaurd color looks great with the CAR finish.
Rock On

Nice looking guitar, oldguy101. I recall really liking that neck when I tried it in-store. Enjoy! 8)

Actually, the knobs, pup covers and switch tip are aged white (standard on the CP 50s) but the photos don't show it very well.

Good job.
