Goodie! Another strat. Congratulations on it. The guys at shamray knows their stratbuilding! Do you know who your crafter will be?

Nice to se a no nonsense hard rocking strat among all these beautiful "vintage" creations too.

I know you'll love it when it's done!

Greetings from me and CS-0079

Thanks guys, I'm really looking forward to the first progress.

I don't know who my crafter will be, but whoever it is, I'm sure my guitar will turn out great.

Stein: I've been in doubt between this guitar and a Stratocaster similar to yours for some blues-type music. I decided to go with this one first.

Already decided on some minor changes:
- no inlays, only side dots
- crafters signature on the back of the headstock
- straplocks instead of strap buttons

My crafter is gonna be Pavel Bashmakov. Michael says they're hoping to get the work underway by the end of the week.

beter :)

grade a is trouwens maar 15 dollar ofzo duurder, ik dacht waarom ook niet, maar die flame is dan ook heel erg subtiel.

en zit een handtekening niet standaard op de gitaar?

You have NO idea what kind of a treat you're in for, Joeri! Bashmakov's a genuine strat artist! I KNOW this will be fantastic!

Kudos on thinking out of the box with the gold finish, btw. This guitar sounds to me like a Dave Murray meets Dick Dale-kind of thing.

It'll be exiting to follow it's progress.

No, routing is not a problem, we just had to route a little extra to bring it up to CS-1984 spec (H-S-S, Floyd) :-)

no pics coming until next week - turns out the latest batch of mettallic powder was INCOMPATIBLE with our lacquer, and the lacquer wouldnt cure properly.

I looked at it yesterday, and asked them to do some testing, and the lacquer just started cracking! (not good).

So now the guitar has to be stripped down to bare wood, and refinished again from SCRATCH. Shamray is going across town tommorrow, to try and find some of the "old" gold-top powder...

Today's revised shipping estimate is actually APRIL 26th. I dont think the refinish will interfere with that (it should be ready for polishing in a week)
