Well, after some input from some of y'all and some serious thought on the matter I have scrapped my plans to painstakingly duplicate a 1959 strat right down to the aged hardware and yellowed finish.
It was going to cost me a bundle anyway and I would have...yet another strat.
I still have the jones to do a project but I've decided to do a Tele. (which I don't already have)
I'm going to create something I've wanted every since I was a kid in the 60's watching Buck Owens and Don Rich in "the Buck Owens Show"...
A metal flake gold telecaster!!
I probably will use a traditional 3 ply white pickguard though....since im not a big fan of bling
I'm going to base it on a '66 Tele and I'll probably create a thread on it when I start to document a step by step
I already have an alder body on the way!
