My Goldtop Strat

I always wanted a Strat with P90's and a gold top. I decided to paint the back and neck too. Guard is a homebrew prototype, not great but I just wanted to try it out before settign up the CNC to make a "perfect" one.

I've played it live once and I am starting some recording with it. So far, it is honestly the coolest sounding guitar I have. I'm really pleased with how it worked out.

Nice!

Pretty cool OA!

Looks like a real players guitar. I like it, good job!
( I'm glad for spell checker..'d' and 'f' are right next to each other on the keyboard when typing "good"..whew!)

You have your own CNC machine?

Shoot, with the right controller you can CNC with an old Bridgeport. I used to be a honcho at a facility with 35 machining centers. Promoted a lot of guys that will still do government work for me. I can even get your saddles plated with Teflon-infused nickel if you want.

Pickguards are nothing. Send them a file created in Autocad and it's done in a few minutes during lunch break.

Goldfinger rules.

carvin baby! looks sweet!

I like the gold, but for some reason just can't bond with painted bolt on necks.
