All right folks, i'm a little late (finished that with luthier's help some months ago) but i'd like to share with you my new baby..if you want to hear something about her, of course 
I came up with this idea around November/December 2011..I sold a DK2, a DK2M and a Fender Strat and i started thinking about getting someone new. I always liked strange vody shapes, such as Explorer, Flying V, RR and so on, and one day I saw an '80s Charvel Star, red metallic, strat neck, 2 humbs and so on..and I started building it!
Bought a Mighty Mite neck on eBay (compound 9.5"-12" radius, a sort of "C" profile, medium jumbos and 22 frets), OFR, a custom SD '59 white with short legs and 4c cable, a swamp ash body from Kne Guitars (great job and wood) and so on...
I had some issues with the neck pocket, it didn't fit very well so i had to work on it for a while and i had to bring the body to the luthier in order to make some holes and to paint it (i wasn't secure and i didn't want to ruin it with an awful paintjob)...
I also took of the satin finish from the neck and I refinished it in gun stock wax (yeah, there's no oil..i'll put it on..).
Some pics:
Bella, uh?
