This Is My Strat Clone Build In Progress. ( This Is My 2nd Build and A Little More Difficult Than The Previous Seeing That The Body Didnt Have The Proper Routings Or Any Of The Inner Cavity Holes Drilled , Neck Mounting Holes , Bridge Holes Ect....( Which Now Are Currently Finished)
Plan On Doing The Routing For Double Coil And Paint 2Maro. [:Y:]
( I Chose A Dupli-Color MS 100 Burnt Copper Metallic Paint ( Its Has A Orange Color To It)
I Sure Hope It Looks Well With The PickGuard :)
Im A Player And Not A Season Builder Like You Guys...But im Learning Along The Way... (2nd Build) But Pretty Proud This One. [:Y:]

Cool build! That thing is going to growl with the Duncans in it, especially the HB in the bridge position. Sweet. Keep us updated as you move forward.

About the Krylon, you might want to do some grain fill with clear lacquer or at least look at where you are with the smoothness before you blast it with a coat of enamel? (maybe you already did this? I can't tell) It's just a heck of a lot harder to go back later if it doesn't suit you...

Thanx BRC... I Used A PPG Clear That Worked Quite Well ( Over A Single Light Coat Of Yellow). I Wish The Lighting Was Better Here To Really Show The Color..( If The Weather Clears Up Here Today... Ill Take It Outside And Get Some Better Pics.)
Was Also Thinkin About Installing A Simple Silicon Fuzz Circut Under The Pickguard On A Push Pull Volume Pot. But Not Sure About That Yet... idunno

I wouldn't put the fuzz circuit in.
It will probably sound artificial.
I'm just thinking out loud though.
