View attachment 1114209 Sticking with the little Klein slicer again. It proved it’s worth on several occasions yesterday as I plugged in the soldering iron and finally got this guitar finished.

I started this overhaul two years ago.I was spraying the lacquer on this guitar on July 25, 2017, when I went in to check on my son and found he had passed. Kind of lost interest in it for a year and a half.
So this guitar will always be a Resurrection Guitar to me ~ not just because I finished it on Easter weekend, but because of reborn hope and joy of living. And the $99 pawn shop Squier rose from the pile ‘o dead parts.:D

The Strat looks great, Jeff! I’m sorry to hear about the circumstances surrounding it’s early stages.

Thanks on both points, Lance!
After a thorough set up, I played it for a couple hours last night. The pickups are everything I'd hoped they would be. They were hand wound by a guy out in the Buffalo area, John Benson.
As for losing a loved one, it's tough, but we do get through it. I purposely decided not to remove the Squier and Made In China decals because I'm not trying to fool anybody and don't give a rip about what brand snobs might think ~ it's what you can do with it, right?
But I am thinking about re-labeling it the "Jasoncaster" in honor of my boy...
 
Cleaned the deck yesterday, dried in the days sun and warm temps so I tested with the moisture meter and all was good. In all her glory after some great commercial stain that I've used for 18 years:thumbsup:

Enjoy the mini "traplifter."
They're great (as Tony the Tiger says). I have the same version and voted it my 2018 knife of the year in Jack B's poll last year. You've inspired me to tote mine today :thumbsup:


You as well Jack! Thank you and a beautiful shot of the valley of lambs.
