Very nice, Chris...although I'm not really a fan of green or blue guitars I do love me some woodgrain...and I love me som strat...so I will definitely be keeping an eye on this one...

Let us know when the entry info is up...

 

[Chad]

right on. That Tele is freakin sweet. I really like this year's strat too.

Love the transparent green! Some wonderful grain on that body. It would have been a shame to cover that up with a solid colour. Great choice!

 

[jp_nyc]

I like where this is going.

I'm surprised wagdog hasn't chimed in as much as he loves green guitars...

 

[OGG]

Very nice

On the final clear coat now. It will need to cure for a week before I can start installing the hardware. Lindy Fralin generously donated a set of pick ups again this year!

Finished wiring and assembling the HawkCaster! Just need to do final set up adjustments. :rawk:

Love it. I’m in for a few tickets this year.

 

[micwalt]

I love that.
I'd leave my wife and run away with it if it had a maple board.

 

[vintage clubber]

came in at a nice weight - definitely lighter than last year's model. I'm guessing it is under 8 lbs this year...

I am loving this, and I'm not a big fan of green.
