Yeah, I had a strat in the early 90s... The wiring was a bit of a rat's nest, especially compared to the pots and caps in Gil's PRM photos... The strat didn't have the nice aged patina though.

My friend luthier exhumated an genuine american cockroach who starved somewhere in 1958 out of an strat, couple of weeks ago.
Nice archeological discovery ...

A couple of 59ers waiting for some more relicing.
One of them with a thinner burst halo.

Hmm... not quite TMHO.
Pearly lost most of it's red by now and since it had an additional brown halo over the red thats what left on it. Here's the real pearly



and here's how she looked like before fading



I used that color scheme for CDaughtry a couple of months ago. Here

Although relics are not my thing, I can certainly appreciate the research, the time taken to perfect the look and above all the craftsmanship. Superb work and what a thread.

Now for the noobie question

Regarding the "Darkburst" (7 posts above) what would the colour process be? Is it all tinted lacquer/nitro or is the amber colour a dye. Also it looks like it has a purple rather than cherry tint.
