It's a 34 1/2" long Strat with a 22 1/2" scale---bought it used
locally off Facebook Marketplace for <$50---needed a saddle and
an output jack nut, serious cleaning, strings and a
set-up---otherwise everything works---ground the logo off the
headstock and applied a Danocaster decal from AJ---it's going to
my adopted granddaughter Ruah with an amp I cobbled together out
of junk Boss and Fender solid state parts---a cord, a strap and
a few picks---I seem to be really getting off on giving guitars
away lately, this is like the 4th one with more in the works.

You got a big heart Dano. And a real soft spot for
Ruah.[emoji173] That's a good thing. generosity is it's own
reward..I'm sure she'll be absolutely thrilled.
My brother bought his youngest one of those 3/4 scale Strats a
long time ago. I gave him some rudimentary lessons on it, but he
didn't stick with it. Always had trouble with focusing on
things. He mostly just liked making a racket with it.
Glad you found a use for at least one of the labels. ;D

who has made me a couple sets of KICKASS Strat pickups---custom
pickguard of gray-stained barnwood cut for 2 P90s and master

style)---this guitar will get a Danotone headstock decal FER

I guess if I'd had them done with "Danotone" instead of "Caster"
that woulda been better. :(
Tickled that yer gonna use 'em anyway.
Any chance we could get pics when you start assembly? Would make
a cool thread. Sounds like it gonna be a cool guitar!
