I gotta move this Strat I just built from scratch. It looks beautiful & sounds fantastic, but I need to fund other builds so I can grow my business. I'd love to see it go to someone here before it goes to ebay. New Roadrunner hardshell case included. $1200 shipped in the lower 48. If you live in the Phoenix area, feel free to come check it out! Here's the specs:.....
1-piece, flame maple neck with heel-adjust truss rod
Vintage size frets
7.25" radius
Hand cut bone nut
Chunky, soft V profile .93" @ the 1st fret, .95" @ the 12th
Walnut "skunk stripe" & truss rod plug
2-piece alder body
Copper shielded
Wilkinson vintage style trem & tuners
Gotoh string tree, neck plate, jack plate & strap buttons
Bill Lawrence Keystone pickups
5-way Oak/Grigsby switch
250k CTS full size pots
Switchcraft jack
Vintage style single-ply white pickguard
Finished in my version of Fiesta Red nitrocellulose lacquer
Finished weight is 7.25lbs

Great-sounding guitar! And it looks like David Crosby playing the Stones!

Thanks Johnny!  That's my guitar teacher.
Matt, I just saw your post about the Fireballs show. I don't think I'll be able to make it, as it's a weeknight & I go to work way early.

The new owner is very happy Noel, but I gotta tell ya, I was sad to see it go. It was one of those guitars that had the mojo. It just felt right...

Congrats on the sale, Bob! I wish I'd have gotten the chance to play it before I left...

Thanks Matt! I got two tele orders that I'm working on right now, so things are rolling along nicely. I'm a busy guy, but I'm not complaining! Onward & upward. Hope all is well in VA.

Glad you're keeping busy. Things are good here, but no band action yet.
