AETHERTONE AE1 - Steampunk Stratocater

This was my first ever custom guitar. Built on a 1989 Fender Strat. While it looks as if there are burnished metal plates and a bajillion screws...there are no metal plates and the only screws that are real are in the pickguard. Add a custom monkey grip and the fretboard is scalloped all the way down to about the 18th or 19th fret. The fretboard was also blackened and custom dot inlay "screws" were added.
It was alot of fun to make and it sold for a cool $800 on eBay. Not bad considering I only paid $100 for the guitar!
