Yeah, looks great! 

I’m trying to be good and just look for a strat that I need. But that’s sparkly and purple lol.

The skin of the workshop is timber. Air flow is key. Even with the stove in here I keep a window on the first latch for ventilation and circulation. Condensation is caused by lack of air flow. If you make your unit air tight I’d advise getting a dehumidifier, I’m putting one in when I’m finished plus a vent on the opposite side of the workshop from where the windows are. I don’t want the timber sweating.

I didn't know just how much I wanted one of these until I saw the picture.
That is truly outstanding. A big pot of steaming tea for you.

With a metallic finish, does the top coat have to more durable? I know little of these things but it makes sense for a more durable finish to protect the flake.
Is that correct?
Oh, the purple flake looks rude.

You could always have a sparkly purple strat body... if you want?

I know this sound stupid, but I don’t think I could do it on a strat. Teles get away with it in my eyes for some reason. I seem to want a seafoam green strat at the moment. I’ve always been boring and gone sunbursts, black or CAR. Need a change this time round and some colour in my life lol. Also like 7.25” radius fingerboards and that seems impossible to find at the moment.

I believe I have 7.25 necks here and “spare” bodies. 

I just got another large delivery in today after a big one last week with another coming in a few weeks. My 5 year old was helping me...

Scott, a question. How come all your work (that I've seen) is Fender-based? Do you not get requests to do Gibsons (or others) or do you just prefer working on the Fender styles?

Loving your work, by the way...

I do set neck work too. The problem is it takes longer and it holds up my main work (I am after all a self labelled partscaster manufacturer). I have 4 set necks in just now but this is a drop in the ocean compared to the fender style stuff I have to do.

No, not at all. Most people come to me because they know that their finish will age continuously. The metal flake finishes can be either 2k clear or nitro. With nitro it simply takes longer to get coverage and over time the lacquer will gradually sink Into the flake. With 2k clear it’s pretty much buried.

Never been a fan of 3tone burst Strats, but that looks fantastic! I'd rock that in a heartbeat. Superb work as always.
