1962 Fender Stratocaster (slab-board)

1962 Stratocaster that I acquired from Chris Tapp via a good guitarist friend (both good guitarist and friend :-)) that knew I wanted another vintage Strat to refin for myself. This was a ‘hippie natural’ stripped down body that had a few non-original parts (guard – which I replaced with an original, nut, frets, etc.) but all the important stuff was there.

So I stripped it down and did a cool pattern that I call ‘brain waves’ on it with a nitro lacquer finish. I’m gonna do a couple of these in other color variants too.
