I’m painting a Monterey Strat for a collector friend. There are so many re-issues out there, all based on very slim evidence of the original design, so i just added to the number! Any helpful or knowledgeable suggestions? It is nearly finished, just some touching up and a decision on whether to paint the flower at top left in red. The heart below it will definitely be red.

This looks awesome! I’d like too see what it’s gonna look like when it’s done and assembled.
NICE WORK !!!

Giallo saidThanks! It’s now finished and i will photograph it this week with all its pieces back on and show upload here. The client is a friend so i did it in exchange for maybe some books or dvds. Not sure what yet.

Is anybody watching this thread??
Here is the finished Stratocaster that i painted for a friend. I used the very few reference photos that exist and took a little bit of artistic licence, but it came out okay.

Awesome!
