Strat Refin

Post by Trixxy »

most of you know what condition my Squier Strat is in, picture below. i plan on refinishing it completely, filling the holes and painting it a different color, it will be documented below, it probably wont start till october since my strat wouldnt fit in the car on the way back to Nebraska, so my aunt has to bring it when she visits, any tips? this picture was before i put the black pickguard on it

I'm not a fan of the standard white pickguards that come on Strats. Do you have any interest or have you considered buying a cool after market designer pick guard to dress the guitar up to the max?

Yes R.E.S. - I agree that mint pick guards look cool on Strats especially if they have a scalloped maple fret board :-)
