I'm in the process of customising my first ever strat copy

I know this is a tele, but I only own 1 tele and it's purple and sparkly, so I'm not touching it other than to fix up a bit of a dent if i can get some decent paint to go over it.

I keep putting off my customisation project though, once I get hold of some decent paint, I shall be back on the road to sanding the SHIT out of the bare body =]

I've got a case full of the original and new parts, and the neck and body sitting next to each other in my room =]

I started it in june, haven't really touched it since july =[

Sounds cool.

I'm still to come up with an idea for a custom guitar. I was thinking about an LP copy but I'm not sure how I'd want it finished or what hardware to use.

I'm using most of the old hardware

But trying to come up with a way to colour some of the outer stuff.

It was originally a black Cort Strat copy, first electric I bought, nice and cheap.

I've got some nice 2 blade pickups and a 4 blade humbucker to give it a nice meaty sound, I'll lower the action and whack on some reeeally light gauge strings, sharpen off all the smooth edges of the body, spray it in a satin black over the body and neck, then find out a way to spray the machine heads and scratchplate red. =]
