I am starting work on my stratocaster very soon. I'm going to code name the project, WeaponXLI. Basically this is the foundation of what i want to do.
I've started on the pickguard but i'm taking the initiative and finishing the work on the body, i'm also going to put in some live lance sanser pickups in it as well. I want to keep you guys updated on it's progress. (Or should i say...the progress of WeaponXLI) I've always been in love with this guitar, something about the color's and the imagery and that combined with the nastalgia of it all, is just something bigger than i am. I understand the mastery behind the situation, it's like trying to hit a home run with the same bat that Ken Griffey used, it's not the bat (or guitar) that makes something or somebody great, it's the hitter, or the musician behind the guitar.
Still there's something really cool about holding an idea in my hands that has been in the hands of a few amazing guitarist. I know that this won't make me a better guitarist, but the idea makes me want to be.
