Frankenstrat Update!

Rightio! A few more bits have arrived, those being the 1971 quarter, Neck, Pickguard, and using the bits I already had, being the old switch, machineheads, eye hooks. I think that's it!

I was so pleased when the neck arrived as it fitted the body so perfectly, so I aged it removed the decals and refinished the headstock, but not too much as EVH's one was unfinished. Bolted on the neck and added the machineheads. And I added the burnt effects too. I haven't yet screwed on the pickguard as I still need to do the electrics, I have however cut it to shape and put a 500k CTS pot in. Also I have put the vintage switch in the middle pickup rout and drilled the hole through the coin and put screws through the correct holes. The coin needs a bit more ageing though. All that needs doing now, is the pickups, the trem and locking nut/string retainer etc. I really hope it works ok! Pictures below!!
