Just figuring out how to post pics. Here is a recent build of mine. Real bronze goldtop gold paint with nitro top coat.

Wow!!!! Looks great!

i LOVE that! i usually don't like gold/silver/ metallics on strats, but that looks REALLY nice

I actually like that better than I do a Goldtop LP. Sacrilege perhaps, but I've never really taken to the goldtop.

I like it better than firemist or shoreline. I've been trying to get someone to buy one with that color but everyone wants butterscotch blonde these days. Perhaps I should just make one for myself???

I like to see a picture of that with natural outdoor light.

Looks awesome! :AOK

I was fantasizing about a goldtop strat recently. Nice!!

 

[Funkwire]

Pure sex!

that strat must be given a shot in the great outdoors!

 

[R13D]

Wow guys,thanx for the kind words! Yes,I will get outside for some shots.I'm not very computer literate so all of this is a major learning curve for me. Here's some specs:
USACG one piece alder body
Warmoth boat neck(asked for Brazillian,got something else,not sure what!)Total vintage specs
Callaham hardware
Fralin 5% Underwounds w/bridge baseplate
All in all a nice vintage feeling and sounding Strat

Gawjess, gives it a muscular, classy look.

LP Goldies are just kitschy, IMHO...

Just gorgeous!

 

[heavysoul]

Sexy!

 

[TwoTubMan]

Beautiful! I'm wondering how a tortoise guard would work. Hmm...

 

[todd richman]

That is one sexy, beautiful classy looking Strat.

Hey TwoTubMan, Funny you should mention the tort 'gard. I had one on there for a while but it seemed just a bit too busy so I went with the green. Thanks again guys for the kind words, I also have several other Strat and Tele builds that I would like to get your opinions on. I'll get busy over the weekend with the camera!

 

[Binaural]

Sweet!

 

[FatStratDaddy]

Thats Awesome..... great job!!!

I think your sensibilities were right on the money there. Very classy as is.

Is that pretty close to Aztec Gold?
