Dying to Show you all my Star; She's Done!

I hope you guys don't get weary of My assemblies. A few just happen to be comeing together at the same time. Soem have been months in the works. Also, Im not just blindly throwing monet y into these. A lot of judiscious Ebay scavenging and using up parts from other "builds'.
This Particualr guitar I'm about to present is bar none one of my most sucssful assemblies , at least from a functional standpoint. So far shes sounds awefull nice as well, In no small part to the Duncan STK-s4 hotstacks.
I had some spare tuners that fit well with the look of the guitar i got off some other project, and was pleasantly surprised to discover that they wrere Fender Schaller locking tuners... OOP- Ping makes the Fender lockers now.

Ive gone into detail on another post about finishing the 3 piece Warmoth body. Its got 2 heavey coats of spray can Tung Oil which is pretty idiot pro of (yes coulda stood a third and more..the wax will stay in the grain, but I just wipe it off with my favourite stuff- Scotts Liquid Gold).
Anyway, I cannot wire up a guitar straight from just bare Pots, but this time, haveing took out the pickups that came with the body off ebay fro antoher project, I was able to do a really outsanding job of wiring in the hot stacks..and I even changed out the crummy cap for a .47 Sprague Orange drop. By far my best wiring job ever.
Pots are all CTS. Bridge is a Fender Vintage 6pt. with added old stock vintage Brass saddles.
The neck is the 84.00 USACG< and I was flabbergasted when it laid right down..perfect relief,arrow straight, no issues whatsover with action( very low as I prefer) and no buzzing or fretting out on bends, and I love to bend.
Very pleased today, I am. This one just worked out well from the start.
Since its Mahogany, I ws going to call it "my agony", but no need to do so now.haha.
I think I'll call her "my hog gainey", since the stack pluses are kinda hot, and shes a beautiful pig!;

P.S. Thanks Lew Guitar for the STK-S4's. I think they are the Protos. Major mojo.
I wont be demanding my money back. TEOL!!

Well at least you got a shot of it where it belongs.




















Just kiddin', I like the top mounted pups, that looks pretty sweet!

Cool Strat Jerry, I bet it sounds gooooooooooooood. I firmly believe Starts on the neck pickup or neck/middle in series is the best tone for blues.

Everything about that guitar fits nicely with everything else, looks good. Congrats on the successful wiring!

What happened to the fifth spring anyway?

[BTMN]

Cool.

I was expecting a Star body guitar though.

[KeeperOS]

Looking good man, and that's a good-looking Mahogany body.

Congrats!!!

This may be the greatest guitar picture I've ever seen.

i agree with KGMESSIER that is a hilarious photo man

and a very tasty build! its got personality.

Nice guitar.

I especially like the two volume (tone?) knobs instead of 3. I always his my hand on a regular Strat vol knob.
Looks great with no pick guard.
