This was my first strat-style guitar, and my first with a tremolo. I love the way it turned out. I haven’t shown the front of the headstock up close because… long story short, it was a customer order featuring the customer’s nickname and signature on the headstock, and he ghosted me without buying it. Awkward. It has since sold.
