The objective for this build was to create a guitar with a Hendrix vibe in vintage white.
The choice of pickguard could have gone either way between Mint Green or Tortoishell. In the end I chose Tort as I had one in the garage.
This is a professionally built guitar using a 1999 USA standard body finished in White, which has aged naturally over the past 10 years to a light cream (see reverse picture where the backplate has been removed)
The guitar is fitted with a Bare Knuckle ‘Mothers Milk’ single coil set with aged covers.
Finally the guitar has been fret dressed and professionally setup with a low and very playable action.
