Another Aged Replica complete-'62 Fiesta Red-OPERATIONSTRAT- Pics!!

[MiK3 STRAT MAN]

This ones a '62 Fiesta Red replica, turned out really nice, usual high quility parts- fatboy aged green guard, sims body and neck, extremely thin nitro finish! Loaded with Amalfitano SPs, CTS pots, CRL 5 way switch, and luxe 62 capacitor. Brazilian Rosewood Fingerboard on a Flame maple neck, clay dots and very rare correct adjustment at the heal in the correct place!



Still need to put the string tree on and set it up, but got some pics anyway.



Pics and better details will be up on the site very shortly! just though I should share some quick pics. Let me know what you think!





















Cheers! & happy new year to all!

Google "operation strat".

How much does something like that, minus the relicing, cost to put together?

The lower horn seems a skosh on the short side, duzzit not......?

I dont see it as spam. Im not selling it, this was made for a customer, I just want to get some feedback from the public.

I use all highest quility parts availible and dont make loads on each guitar, I do it mainly becuase I enjoy building them!

Good to hear from you phantomman, its not shorter, just rounded over, so it looks shorter when you look at it face on.

Mike I was inquiring because I've run out of room for all the amps I've built and I thought I'd like to try my hand at something like that. I don't know that I would go as top end as you, but I'd like to get an idea. You can send me an email if you don't want to post it on the board.

Hi wingnut1

Prices start around £1350 for a basic strat, options include Brazilian rosewood fingerboards, flame/quartersawn/birdseye maple neck. All vintage correct. See website for more details. Cheers!

Three words;
Except-tion..ugh... al.
Werent all the pickggaurds one-ply back then though?

[phantomman]

Single-ply up through early/mid '59. The changeover occurred -- roughly -- with the introduction of the slab board R/W neck.
