NGD GSP Strat

John_A

Finally got this together, bit of a forum name-drop @GSPBASSES ;body & neck, pain paint by @lamf68 pickups from @Alegree ;  Strat's really aren't my thing, but you feel like you have to have one   This is as good a Strat as I've played, went together beautifully and practically set itself up.

Love the sparkles

Sweet!

Blimey that's quite some colour!

(Shame it's not a matching headstock)

Wish I’d thought of that

That's a belter John - Enjoy!

Not mad keen on the sparkles but the neck looks bloody great.

I can fully confirm your commitment to Sparkle Motion!



Cool Strat!

Really nice!

Great looking Strat.....well done on putting it together and the end result. Makes me hanker for a Lake Placid Blue......with a matching headstock. Was that quite an economic build @John_A ;; or a that’s what I want / balls to the wall effort?

Bit of both, body and neck were reasonable, paint was quite a bit, but good value considering the effort that went in (full nitro) pickups were bought in Alegree’s 25%off sale, probably about £650ish all-in, maybe. Bit more, but you don’t feel it when you buy it a bit at a time

So sparkly. Looks like it should fizz!

You so need to get a custom label for the headstock that says "haribo"

Love it!!! Hit me up if you ever decide to sell that in the future. It would go nicely with my silver sparkle Brad Paisley telecaster.

I will do.  As I said, I’m just not a Strat person, but determined to try
