NGD - Refinished Stratocaster

NCo · January 2023

Hi everyone,

Just received this from our very own @lamf68 . Originally a Mexican custom shop designed stratocaster in shoreline gold that I bought on this forum: https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/235089/fender-classic-player-strat-sold#latest

The goal was to create a lighter relic'd version of the Fender Custom Shop Buddy Guy they made for Jason Momoa, and my god am I thrilled.

Richard is an asolute gent to deal with, and an insanely talented individual. The pictures really don't do this guitar any justice, he didn't just nail the brief - he really took it to a whole new level. Best part? It came perfectly set up.

No idea how to embed images, but here's a link:

That's brilliant!!! Not usually a huge relic fan but that looks very cool indeed.

Rich is very clever and a top bloke. My refinished Tele gets 'wows' from everyone that's seen it, especially in the flesh.

A cracker - congrats.

How close to the original Buddy Guy signature Strat is that, the CS one for example is basically identical to the Eric Clapton sig complete with the mid boost circuit but with the black with white pokka dots finish, the MIM version doesn't have the mid boost circuit.
