Thanks, it's Lace Alumitone for a Stratocaster guitar.

I assume you mean mine (only single coils so far).

Nice work. Did you paint the bass as well?

Not mine but a favorite I saved off of eBay. Fender Squire Jazz.

Nitro applied by Ben Lyndsey of Toledo Ohio...I did the rest.
I'm spraying my own now - this one inspired me so much...
PS Love your 5 banger - awesome color!
Nice subtle beatup on your sunburst P as well.

I actually wanted a color more like this one of yours. please which color was it and some photography info would also help....thanks.

That's not too bad as a replica... maybe a bit over cooked. There should be a screw in the middle of the pickguard... interesting concept.

Thanks. The P is the second bass I've reliced. The 5 I sanded the edges to create the wear marks, with the P I wanted to create nicks in the bass like you would if you hit it on something. I used a small exato knife to nick the bass. Just flakes the paint right off.

Fiesta Red. I did put the amber clear coat over it which slightly ages the color so it's not so bright.
