Beat 25th anniversary strat project

[terminalvertigo]

Started the day not expecting to be building a new project, but here we are... lol

Ebay "saved searches" are Great!/Bad!

I've watched these 25th anniv. strats for a while, and usually they do nothing for me because a) they are not beat enough.. and 2) because they are usually whole guitars, whereas I am only interested in a legit aged vintage silver body. I'm not going to rip a nice beat one apart, too much work, and I'm not tuna

But his came up today:




Also, at less than $400 Cdn shipped and recieved, how could I say no?

Last I checked, that's the cost of a aged refin to look like this, and this one is genuine wear!

It includes the pickguard, but i'm not sold on the black.

I'm thinking an aged mint guard, nice beat maple neck, some good pickups, Aged Klusons, and a nice trem system makes this quite the affordable project strat!

I've got a maple neck if you want it!

That body looks cool. Mint would probably look pretty funky. Im usually not a big fan, but I think a subtle/darker tortoiseshell guard could look dope.
