Default Old Norfolk Ash Strat

Friend who builds guitars is building me a lefty Strat from an old Norfolk ash tree. I’ve just bought a 92 rosewood neck to go with it. Going for a plain oil wood finish. I’m very excited, missus less so. Will post pics.

I hope you are happy with it when it all comes together. It should be a very cool guitar!
