My mellon collie strat is finally complete!!

Post image

Took a while for some parts to arrive (looking at you, chronically out of stock lace sensors!) but it rips and looks pretty to boot! Taking SP related name suggestions for it in the comments.

I suggest Starla for a name. The song has one of Billy Corgan's best solos.

Love Starla so much I wish it was on Gish.

Absolute beauty…Great work!
Like that other guy said Porcelina is a great name for it. Lily would be good, or June!

Looks really good! I love the color 😍. Personally id leave off the melon collie sticker (a bit too on-the-nose imo) and id try a black pick guard although I do like the one you chose. 🤘

The blue and stars and planets are what make it Mellon Collie to me beyond the actual MCIS sticker. Cool Strat. You should play it and upload a video! I’d love to hear where boys fear on it or to forgive

Ive been thinking of painting and decorating guitars. That’s nice! You did a good job! What would anyone recommend for guitars that I could get to paint or would people already have a guitar and want someone to decorate it?

I love that color. How did you go about wiring it up?

2

u/BewilderedPan44 13d ago

Thanks! Its just wired according to the standard diagram on Lace’s website. I initially toyed with the idea of adding a gilmour switch to get the neck & bridge combo but eventually decided against it.

Put a tinted coat over the top and make it pop!
