Custom Strat--au naturale This guitar came together basically because the parts it consists of fit together too naturally to ignore. When I assemble any guitar from different components, I always assemble it before painting it to assure that I won't have to add/subtract/modify any holes or cavities. This one looked so cool as bare wood, I threw a couple cans of clear coat on and called it a guitar. The humbucker is a Tex-Mex.
