Ozzy Lister – guitar and bass repair
This was also refinished by a customer. It’s a Mexican Fender Stratocaster body with WD Music Products neck.

“My ‘Frankenstrat’ finished with your nitro laquer. Started out as just a MIM body I’d picked up on ebay for 30 quid which some guy had stripped with a blowlamp (and probably an axe it looks like!) Anyway – your stuff is great as you can see – couldn’t have done it without you! Thanks a lot – don’t stop selling it, I’m sure I’ll need some again in the future.”
This was refinished by a customer who sent me the pictures below.

“I would just like to thank you for a superb product and the advice from your web site on “how to do things”. I have enclosed a short bio on my 20 year old Stratocaster.this was brought new in antique white and over the years it had gone a yukky yellow so a friend “repainted it with car paint” about 10 years ago (see before shot) So after finding your site I thought – as Mr. Clarkson from Top Gear says – how hard can it be? So I hand sanded the whole thing down,(and destroyed my french manicure in the process) and repainted it as per your instructions and finished with a clear coat (not tinted) as i wanted a really bright white and here are the results,along with a new torty scratchplate and back plate instead of the scruffy white ones this will now take its place with my Chrome Red American Strat.All the work has been done by me single handed,and even if i do say so myself not bad for a female, so thanks again Steve,I could not done it without you.”
A re-creation of Fender’s 3 colour sunburst over alder.
This uses my Clear Amber, Clear Red and Black aerosols, with a Clear Satin top coat.
