Ain't she cute! Started life as a Cruiser By Crafter, and I've been commissioned to create a set of identical 'Father & Sons' Fiesta Red '57 Strats, here's the baby one!
The original finish was a heavily lacquered sunburst, you can see the Cruiser decal and dry fretboard with tarnished frets.
I sanded back the finish and prepped the wood with primer before spraying with a Fiesta Red colour, then started the relic work by wet sanding and denting parts of the wood that generally picks up dings from lots of use.
Then it was time to sand off the Cruiser decal and apply the new Fender Strat '57 style and lacquer coats.
Looking forward to doing the identical full size version this week! Here she is side by side with another strat for size reference 👌
