How it all started. I saw a beautiful stratocaster, off-course a custom shop stratocaster on ebay and it looked like this:

So why not make one, only more custom shop, or less, depends of the materials and time.

I started with a neck i bought.As you can see it is a squier bullet neck.

And applying a new decal

I finnaly managed to get the wood, so i started to work. I joined together two projects, the stratocaster and the p-bass project. Strat is made with the same materials as on the pictures above only with the difference in the rosewood. P-bass is an experimental project and is made out of one exotic(spalted maple) and one domestic wood (pear tree)

First the ash:

cutting out the basic shape

And the pear tree wood, drawing the body shape

One by one, the bodies

and the tops

I have cut out the chanels for the cables, and the sound holes

Putting the top and bottom together
