Check out my new Hello Kitty Strat!

It started out like THIS.

Now, after some Gotoh tuners, a bridge from eBay (2 1/16 spacing?!), a DiMarzio Fred with a push / pull pot wired as a coil tap, black string trees, strap buttons, and jack plate, a new decal (poorly installed and lacquered by me) and some clever work by my friend the luthier; it now looks like this:

I brought it along to rehearsal last night - it plays great, stays in tune, and doesn’t sound half bad. The Mrs. is a graphic artist, and she’s going to eventually add some paint details to the top. I’d like to use it for at least half a set at our gig tomorrow. :)

BTW - I plan to fashion a protective codpiece from the old pick guard. :shock:
