As beautiful as this guitar looks (and even sounds thanks to the Mojo pickups), I just can not get the intonation setup right on the high e without compromising on some other element of how the guitar plays. The guitar plays well from an action point of view, but I think maybe due to the angle of the trem I can't get it to intonate. This might be a job you can undertake and get this to be a regular player or you might not be bothered about the intonation, rather than residing in a gig bag in a cupboard at my house!

All the details on how this guitar were put together are here: http://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/51152/monterey-pop-strat-build-thread

As you can imagine, the paint work done by Rich looks amazing, it's also starting to age and the paint is checking as detailed below. 

Neck is a GSP (Wudtone finished), body is believed to be a Fender (bought from here), trem is a Fender (currently decked), pickups are Mojo 60's, scratch plate from my graphics is from Scratch-IT, guitar comes with a Fender gig bag.
