"Irish Red" Strat build

[SpiderWars]

Loosely inspired by Gary Moore's Red Strat. The body/neck are from Guitar Mill. Neck still being built and has a longish lead. Their TruGrain finish uses no grain filler and is super thin, you can see and feel the grain. However the body will probably relic itself if you look at it wrong so it's not for everybody.

Looks cool, I dig the finish.

Really like the specs you have here. And the finish is sharp as hell. Are you doing a 3ply guard?

Can't wait to see the finished product.

Thanks. Yes 3-ply. I had to check, I found the pickguard on ebay for $9.99 so we'll see what I get.
