Thanks Damon, and thanks to Bob Shade, for the excellent pics.
The color is unusual: aqua sparkle top on a metallic blue (??)

Feel free to bash Strats. If they're not your cup of tea, I'm cool with that. I've got a bunch of other guitars like most everyone else here. I like to think of them as all different sonic flavors.

I only bash to troll a bit, but I have always thought them to be a highly overrated guitar, especially with the quality (or lack of) at times in their history. Mostly I don't like the knob placement and the bridge though.

Anyway, no fun to bash if it doesn't upset the apple cart some.

Yes, thanks to Bob Shade for the outdoor pictures. The others I took. If anyone needs shots of their guitars, I do it for free. Just send me your Mosrite, I'll spend 30 minutes snapping some shots, then several weeks playing it. I usually can turn it around and have it back to you in 8 weeks or so :lol:

It was born blue. It's faded to that aqua blue/green over the years. It has tan lines :lol:

Damon67, would you be interested in making a hand drawn tracing of your double neck? That is something I haven't built 'yet'. If so, let me know and I'll send you my address, if not no problem, just an idea I have brewing.

Well........................I quit trying to second guess you a long time ago. However, if you have something in mind you'd better let me know now as I'm getting to old to keep building guitars. I've got one more major project and that is to build another new home in another state, hopefully Colorado, then I'm done for good. ;)
