S'51 body, Bullet Strat neck, GFS p'guard and bridge, Pearly Gates bridge, li'l '59 neck, CTS pots, Switchcraft switch and jack. A fun guitar.

That is very, very nice! Methinks I will be getting myself one of those GFS 'guards later on!!!

Rob, you do some fine work brother

Very cool, Rob.

Is that neck from one of the Bullets with the "stripped" truss rod nuts (that was actually OK, but supplied with the wrong wrench)?

Also, did you refinish or tint that neck?

Yup, Bullet Strat neck with non-stripped-wrong-size-allen-key-truss-nut (4.5mm works just fine), spritzed with ReRanch Butterscotch. I had the body hanging around since last year and then there's that neck that had a new lease on life, and I had them ol' pups lying around and ... well, there it is.
