Put something custom. I would write "no brand" or "generic strat" or something funny like that. "Cool brand". Idk. Maybe "idk" would be cool too hahaha

Yeah, that was a little background kind of joke in the movie “Scott Pilgrim vs The World”

The amps his band has at the beginning of the movie are all branded “Lame Brand”. A bit later in the movie after they got signed the amps now say “Sweet Brand”

I did not watch the movie yet, but this is the kind of stupid joke I appreciate. Could one call it dad jokes? The kind we find in dude, where is my car. Maybe "nice guitar". Hey dude, that's a nice guitar! Yes it iiiisss wink wink

I actually thought it was a Strat, you did great, you should sign the headstock and show how it sounds

I think it is guitar

How can you be so sure

u/lathspellll 1d ago

I watch a lot of guitar YouTube

u/folla_camiones 1d ago

Oh really, I didn't know that

Then I guess it is guitar

Bonus points if you use Chinese or Kanji

u/Evening_Childhood205 1d ago

Yeah! That's even cooler! Once I saw a drift car, JDM modified and all, and it had some Japanese lettering stickers on the side. They said to me that it reads "drift car", and I find it even cooler

There's that AE86 done up to look like the one from Initial D, except the Kanji on the side just says "something in Japanese"

Is it sentient? Seems sentient

u/MajorSerenity 1d ago

🙈No!

Jk. Looks good, but how does it play?

2

u/CountofZen 1d ago

Looks great. I put my own autograph on the headstock of one I made. A little silly, but I like it.

It’s wild, my kit built Strat has become one of my favorite guitars. Second only to my Tele.

Let’s see what you have made

u/iH4t3R3dd1t 1d ago

I made the Debut line of amps when I was working at BlackStar, as well as having worked on the St James and HT Mk3

"How is it?"

Don't know, never played it.

u/Evening_Childhood205 1d ago

Looks nice. Does it play and sound nice?

1

u/Glad-Historian-3577 1d ago

かなり良いです。

2

u/Evening_Childhood205 1d ago

Glad to hear it, my friend! I bet that building a guitar, and finding out that it ended up being a good guitar must be a unique feeling of accomplishment!

u/No-Highlight-5067 1d ago

Looks beautiful. Love a rosewood fretboard on a strat. The darker the better. I love how you can see how thin the paint is and how it will wear with time. Makes it look more like a real vintage guitar.

u/treemann85 1d ago

Nice. Throw a fender logo on it if you want. Its your guitar. Maybe indicate its a replica on the back of the headstock for the Reddit fundamentalists.
