My "Custom" Strat Finally Done!!


Well I finally finished my strat project Ive been working on for a while.. It started life out as a sorry looking red squire much like this:

And a new Warmoth neck, new set of pups, and a new paint job later it's looking like this:





Dont mind the upper right picture, Ive been playing for like an hour with it and my handprints are all over it so its just a smudge, I assure you the paint is flawless

What do you guys think?

Did you do the paint yourself? Looks like a pretty coarse metallic flake. I hear that is difficult to do well.
