Just when you think you've possibly seen it all - some 'bayhead posts a classic "FrankenStrat" project like this one!

This is a classic example of what can go seriously wrong when the fumes in the garage become highly (and I do mean HIGHLY!) concentrated...

I'm afraid even "our man Woody" in a well ventilated shop couldn't bring this one back from the brink of criminal insanity!

Now that I've piqued your curiousity - check out this link to ebay if you're strong enough to keep from passing out or spilling your brat...

You know as screw up as it is, I would really like to have V with the Ovation Neck. I think I would rather have two single pups or pups from a UKll. Wish I knew how to work and finish guitars. I like being different and Lord is this different.

I could use that red neck (two words) for my Viper. Mine looks like it was repaired and repainted. Not a bad job, but noticeable to me.

I love Flying Vs (my second guitar ever bought), and I love Ovations (first guitar I bought). I can totally appreciate what was trying to be done here.
