Looks very nice mate, I like the shielding work, colour is cool and the clear coat looks like a mirror finish, great work all round! Wouldn't worry too much about any small blemishes, a lot of factory finished guitars have the odd blemish here and there. I doubt they'd be noticeable to anyone other than yourself unless they're pointed out.
In the back door shot (nothing rude there), the saddles look quite low, those grub screws will tear your picking hand apart if you're planning on any heavy palm-muting riffs, Metallica style . I doubt this strat/single coil guitar was intended for metal, but you might want to experiment with shimming the neck pocket anyway, can always remove if it doesn't feel right.
A small piece of wood veneer (1/40"~0.6mm thick at the end of the pocket) will raise the angle/grub screws by 4-5mm, guitar factories do it all the time, found this graph-type tape inside a neck pocket of a guitar I took apart for cleaning.
Talking of cleaning, what dremel attachment did you use to polish the chrome bridge parts? look like shop-new parts in your pics. Bought some attachments a while back, got felt tip type ones and softer brush attachments. I usually use brasso but I think something more industrial might be needed. |
