The picture's below are some of many you will find on www.stratbuilder.com  There are countless images showing exactly how I made this strat in just about 3-4 months very simply and while learning what to do. Probably like you, I did not have a clue of how to make a guitar, let alone a world class instrument, but it was actually not hard to do at all and I have a strat that features the best there is, without the custom shop price!

Here's the specification:

• 22 Fret Neck very heavily figured throughout
• Custom Radius setup which eliminates choking off
• Custom made pickups - some of the finest in the world
• Industry standard tremolo system as 62 strat
• Adjustable truss rod, while the neck is fitted
• Louisiana Swamp ash body and maple top (the real thing)
• Hollowed and lightened body cavities for reduced weight
• Dream Custom Purple finish
• Custom wiring
• Custom Case
• Strap locks as standard (the way it should be)
• Best playability on the planet
• Best sounding strat in the world!
• Cost less than £700 in the UK with brand new parts

The question is - did I achieve my goal.... below are a few pictures of the finished guitar - click on it to visit www.stratbuilder.com and find out for yourself!
