I Rebuilt A Fender Stratocaster (Trial & Error)

This took way too long! if you're new to my channel I'm an aspiring repair man and luthier. I'm basically learning as I go.
the history of this particular guitar is one of many directions. I don't think the body is original whatsoever, I think it's a crappy knockoff from Apache Junction meth wood. I got the fender neck from a friend of mine. enjoy me trying to put this damn thing back together.

[@finaljesus]

i absolutely love everything about this guitar the color everything thank you for buiding it and sharing the video

[@MarsRestorations]

Glad you like it!🎸

[@chillpillology]

nice. did i miss a protective coat on the body? the neck almost looked like it had been lightly scalloped.

[@MarsRestorations]

It may have bin. I was probably messing around with it 15 years ago. 😑 Yeah I forgot to put in a clip of me wood waxing it and still wool.

[@MarsRestorations]

I just wanted a soft satin feel.

[@salmonti9707]

Did i miss the body finish also, or were you just stain and wax (which is cool). Love the red stain, black hardware, sweet fret iob, looks sweet. Switch the vol/tone knobs to black (reminds me too much of a wierd fender amp
All the rest is a 10.

[@MarsRestorations]

Yeah I did some wax and some fine steel wool. (Off cam) And I do agree the knobs are just way too dang red! ♥️

[@mrbr4587]

(IMHO) I don't like this red knobs.

[@MarsRestorations]

Me neither 🤣

What happened to your fingers.......? I don't care as to why....just how?....White/Black...I'd prefer to hear clean anyway

[@MarsRestorations]

I got jumbled up switching hands between my iron and solder and I ended up catching it between my fingers like a total dumbass.😅
