I built my first strat, in time for Christmas.
Roasted maple neck, Fender Texas Special pickups, locking tuners, new jack socket, hardtailed tremolo. The only thing left from the original guitar is the body and the bridge.

Thanks all.
This is how it sounds.
Here’s one of my favourite Christmas songs, “Little drummer boy”, which I’ve renamed to “Little guitar boy” . This is based on the version by the band “for King & Country”, from which I’ve borrowed the bass and the drums. Everything else is mine, played with my new guitar which I finished assembling a few days ago.
