First of all, let me explain why I call it the "Tango Strat". Sometime during 2016 I became obsessed with a colour I had seen on some special-run and custom shop Fenders - Candy Tangerine, a metallic orange.
Something I have wanted to do for quite a long time is to build my own guitar, ultimately I'd love to actually make the neck and body from scratch, but maybe that'll be possible another time.
The cheap pickups (they cost £15) that I ordered weeks ago finally arrived and I installed them in the newly refinished "Electric" Strat. Originally a black Squier Vintage Modified 70s Strat, it is now an electric blue, late 60s/70s-inpired Strat.
