Awesome!

Had you mentioned having a Bravewood on the way, or is it just my memory letting me down?

How much did that cost, if you don't mind saying?  I saw a Bravewood "Rory Gallagher" Strat on eBay a few weeks ago, looked fantastic and loads better than the Fender Tribute version.  Much cheaper too, but still a hefty two grand.

I've some more photos at home. Some space rock clips might be possible..

I hadn't mentioned the Bravewood, shes been a year in coming! Looking back, I wish I'd gone for a hardtail, though the trem is cool. I guess thats the problem with custom, your tastes may change as its being built. Nevertheless, I'm well chuffed.

edit: shes a '67 by the way

All guitars should be stratocasters.

Or telecasters.

I've just realised I could've seen the headstock if I scrolled across  :oops: .

Mid-'60s big headstock!  Even more awesome than I thought!  :D

Very nice. A mate has one and it is a fantastic guitar so I'll expect yours will be a joy to behold.

Thanks Mr38th! Indeed, it may even be the highest quality guitar I have (hard to say, considering my Feline V and WezV Firebird - a guitar which is often at hand).

I think the nicest thing about it is that it feels to play like a late 60s strat. Not that I've played that many, just a couple in shops, but it has the vibe, no doubt about it. I'm sure you would like it.
