Question:
Well it's not exactly a totally original body shape but you know.
Just after Christmas I picked up a cheap relic strat on ebay. I got it on the cheap so thought if I didn't like it I would make my money back on it.
Well it turned out to be a perfect guitar for me so I thought why not get the same guy to make me another.
Well hundreds of emails and phone calls later I have the guitar of my dreams. Basically I told Geoff that I wanted a period correct 60's strat. Gave him a couple of ideas and left him to it.
I must have been a pain in the ass but he answered all my requests and I couldn't be happier.
Anyway I know you all want to see pics so here you go :thu:
