Well, with Vacation time here I figure it was time for me to start working on guitars I still had lying around unfinished.
Like this strat casco I got from somebody who never finished it. It has a lot of flaws, the neck is unusable, the trem rout is too shallow to actually put a working trem in and the body shape is too narrow to accept a normal strat pickguard.
But it happens to be made from Swamp ash and there's already a layer of primer on it. And I do have a neck that fits in perfectly. And so I got to thinking of turning it into something like this.
And this is where I am right now with this idea.
I'll probably fit either a Kahler Flatmount trem or a blocked off fender style trem bridge in and I still have to stripe it although I am thinking of doing something different like using Purlpe with silver stripes instead of red with white and black stripes although I'm not yet sure.
