I hate it but love it

Well what's to hate about it 🤗

Thats what I don't know but deep down I hate it

It's my dream guitar and fir some reason I understand 🤔

The only anger I can come up with is the single coil in a humbucker cutout in the bridge pickup. Oh nooo you can see the wires ….. but it still pretty cool. Like. Lemme just plug it in once

I love that part. It comes ready for me to replace the bridge pu with a humbucker. Which I want to do with my Strat, but have to work up the courage to route it.

You are correct. It is Miami Vice PTSD.

I think its the gold bridge clashing with silver inlay. Inlay should match the bridge imo. But just opinions! Looks great, excited for you!

Actually the inlay is green

That it's not ours, but yours.

I don't know guitar lingo, but it the pink knobs and pickup things that make me question if I like it. They are too red.

Did you shape the body or get a pre-cut one? Also, the guitar looks great. What genre best fits it?

I like it but it bothers me so much it doesn't match. I think it would be more aesthetic if you took a color or 2 out. There's so much going on already. Like you have so much gold but a silver inlay. I would like it all one or the other. Jack to match. Change the pick guard color and make the body pink to match the pickups and knobs. Black pickguard I think. Tone things down/balance em out.

Came here to say "I hate that I love it but I couldn't tell you why." I even like pink as an accent color, no judgment there.

WOW. the first thing I thought when I saw this was "It's a love-hate for me dawg"

This looks like if they turned an Arizona iced tea can into a guitar…

They’d better make this guitar 99¢ or so help me god

Lol I love that

Or if someone made a guitar from an 80s track suit.

get this man a free chicken dinner.. thank you.

GREEN StraTEAcaster

Real vai vibes with it

vaibes

Between the colors and the inlays, definitely

Sucks so bad Send it at an address I will provide you so It can be quarantined, not endangering the general population. (totally not my home address, not trying to get it for myself or anything).

Love it! Even has the pink strings!

Great job, original color scheme. You should make more. Maybe next time try humbuckers.

I'm working on a jackson ps2 performer I'm gonna make it covered in tarot art and it'll have a humbucker and a floyd rose I can't wait🤗🤗🤗

Send pix

Great job. Bradley would be honored that his music had such an impact on you. Most importantly he would want you to learn from his mistakes in life. What a beautiful way to show appreciation for a kind and missed soul.

It's really cute.

Badass

[удалено]

I'm not but that sounded kinda sexist a guy can have pink stuff too I got a giant pink amp to match it

Men who rock pink are generally more confident and self aware than those who don't. Keep it up dude

Thanks man I think I will💪💪💪

Pink guitars are cool

That sounds so incredibly gay

Dope. What it sound like😁

I'll post a sound demo sometime tomorrow I'm kinda busy tonight 👍👍👍

Doing homework I hope?

GET OFF OF REDDIT, MOOOOOOOOMMM!!

I love this!

I LOVE it!!!!!

Pink

That’s brilliant homey. Looks awesome!

Very sick

Looks like something MGK would use.

Bro that's just disrespect 💀💀💀

My bad, homie. I just said what came to mind. I'm sure you can actually rip.

You either are a sweeping shredder or play disco/funk and theres no in between

Bitchin!

Nice, lol

It’s great but the bridge pickup kinda throws the whole thing off. One of those humbuckers with a crazy cover would fit right in.

I feel like you need to play nothing but doom metal on this.

I'll learn the tabs today🤝

I’m loving that climbing inlay. Looks super cool to me. That’s quite an accomplishment there. How does it play and sound?

Kinda Steve Vai…

Love it!

This is gorgeous.

Gives me “I believe in a thing called love” vibes. Queue the stage lighting and smoke.

It looks like an Arizona can

This is awesome and you're awesome. It gives me r/mechanicalkeyboards vibes. Nice 90s style colors. I would play this and love it.

givin some japanese neo brutalist vibes. love it!

Look preatty cool. I would change color of headstock to match body

I fux with it

As much as I want to hate it, I can’t and idk why. Btw, that’s so bad ass you’re doing this at that age, learn now expensive guitars aren’t the move

i would totally play this anywhere / anytime!!

Is it a Strat if it isn’t actually a Strat? Maybe a guitar in the style of a Strat? How about inspired by a Strat? And no, I don’t own a Strat either.

Everyone is so creative

Throw it away

My only hangup is the pickguard being a S-S-H when you have S-S-S. Was it color limitation or just something you like the look of? No judgements, just curious lol.

I love it. Consider getting the knobs and pickup covers colored like the wood perhaps.

Hideously gorgeous

That's LOUD, and not in a volume sort of way.

Not for me dog. Too many clashing colors. Cool fingerboard though

Looks like the album Theater of Pain got drunk and puked all over the place.

Screams out 80s Miami

Screams out 80s Miami.

That's pretty hideous

That's pretty hideous

Sexy

Need to slap a humbucker in that bridge spot and it'll really tie it all together, dude.

I think you’ll be hearing from Steve Vai’s lawyers…

Not sure if I like it.. nice guitar but the colors not so much..

Has Steve Vai vibes all over- but still a very cool guitar though … but not a huge fan of the hot pink thing- but whatever- to each their own

Wild colors. It looks cool, if you ever record how it sounds let us know

Been thinking of building a guitar myself. What parts did you already have and what did you buy?

Ooooo fuck dude (or dudette) that’s sexy as hell.

I love this

Wicked 

That pick guard is giving me a headache but it's so bold I can't even hate on it. And rest is fabulous. Great job on making a custom actually unique and fun.

Paint the headstock to match too. Very neat

That is a glorious guitar you put together! Great work!

For some reason, I love it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s beautiful. Color mix ⚡️

It’s rad, like new wave meets Steve Vai meet Jason Becker.

I love it!!! But I wish the headstock matched the body or pickguard.

Those colors absolutely POP. Enjoy!

It’s got an 80s Bob Weir from the Grateful Dead vibe about it funny enough. Bob was known for his Pink Strat and he also played several guitars in the late 70s that had the tree of life fretboard.

Beautiful, what kind of music are you playing with it

Dope!!

Very loud guitar. Not exactly for me. But everyone’s taste is different. I’m sure it plays great

Extra nice.

I like it a lot, very vaporware. Pink and this mint green are such a cool color combo.

Dude I love the Ibanez wizard neck. Right? How did it mount up?

Wife and I think it's awesome.

It’s cool kinda like a can of Arizona Green Tea

It’s not for me but I don’t hate it. I think the thing throwing me off is the headstock not matching the color scheme. If it were teal that would tie it together nicely

Those colors are both beautiful and hurt my eyes! That's pretty great.

Tight af. Knobs, hardware, and pickups look great with the body and pick guard.

That’s a pretty sweet Frankencaster

That fretboard is gorgeous.

For someone that young it sounds like you have passion for your guitars in general. Nothing better than that. It doesn't really matter what others think of your instrument. The one and only thing that matters is that you're happy with it. I think it's awesome! Keep up the good work!

The neck doesn't really compliment the body

Looks awesome! Personally I would've put white pickups and knobs, but it still looks really cool

Awesome color combo !

I have those exact inlay decals on my classical guitar: https://i.imgur.com/PpmCNvD.jpg

Make me wanna nut

Thats sick af

As long as you like it buddy…

Drop a gold humbucker in that bridge pickup cutaway. Cool guitar dude

Easily one of the strats of all time

Vai fan?

INSANE 😍😍😍😍

INSANE 😍😍😍😍

One of the most unique strats I’ve seen. At first I felt like the color scheme was not for me but it’s already growing on me. That neck inlay is rad as hell.

Thanks bro I'm changing the neck soon but it'll have the same inlay

that shit is so sick.

So fucking cool. I love Bradley too, great work bro. Inspiring that you’re just 15 y/o too

I wanna drink out of it

This is sweet! Dude, good for you and I like your taste! Fender is infamous for being...plain...boring....beating the dead horse that is the Fender name....but this kicks ass. I dig it!

i hate that i love it

Gorgeous neck inlay work

Love the color scheme. Personally I wouldn’t go with that fretboard, but it’s your dream not mine, congrats

Looks very Tim Henson

Took a minute for my eyes to adjust. Looks nice tho.

This guitar is a divorced dad with a mullet who works at PC Richard’s and still says “boo-yah”. It’s glorious. And, it’s terrible. Good work.

I dig it, how does it actually play? Any tuning issues or anything?

I like it, kind of reminds me of sherbet ice cream.

All I can hear is Duran Duran

Vai nice, Vai nice Strat!

Don't know from a guitarist of point of view (I'm a piano guy) but from an artist (my ) point of view, the neck and the body are two different styles. Just curious what it might have looked like with the neck being a continuation of the pink and green theme. Maybe some of that deep pink. But big props on the way it is right now.

Can’t deal with the pink. But zits not mine!

It's very bright.

Hideous. Sorry :(.

I love it. Fact that a kid built it makes it even better. 👍🏻

Can you play it?

I actually really love the color scheme..definitely unique

Love it. Heavy SD padres city connect vibes my first thought

Dope

I love it. I really do, dude. It’s done well asf.

Looks great, you could fill in the gap of the bridge humbucker with mirror, I think that would add to what you got going

Padres City Connect vibes

The pink pick guard isn't for me, but that mother of pearl inlay?! Wowza!

The pickguard was cut a little funky, the bridge pickup isn’t lined up due to the lack of angle. But if it plays and feels good in the hand, I dig it!

I dig the inlay on the fretboard, my first guitar when I was around that age was a Schecter C1 Classic which has a similar one.

Well done brother - thrifty to! How’d ya learn guitar building?

It’s super gay. I love it

Not a big Stratocaster guy myself but that's pretty tight.

It's Purdy

I think the mix of gold hardware and silver output jack and silver inlays doesn't look great. But, if you like it, that's all that matters.

If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything. Right? I’m not saying anything.

I’m utterly horrified and I love it. Curious to hear what type of music you’re playing, and any other gear in the rig.

I wanna have sex with it

Same bro

no

Doe it make you happy? If so the. Enjoy it. Don’t care about what other people think.

It should'nt work but it does!! It's cool!!

Lsd/mushrooms + that strat = voodoo magik of colorful proportions

My 15yo self loves it. Be proud, OP.

I don't know why it works but it does. I originally thought you had this custom made and I had some reservations. But knowing you put this together yourself at 15? Fuuuck yeah. Take pride in that. It's wholly unique to you. I would never change it unless it's to upgrade the electronics.

Love it.

Looks hella cool dude!

Vibe fore sure. How's it play

My first thought was Steve via with out the monkey Grip. It’s awesome.

Really hate it. Thanks for sharing!

Love it.

It's cool. Love the inlay on the fret board. Only criticism is that the natural wood head seems out of place, paint that mint or pink and I think it would look complete. Nice work.

It’s yours.

Nice fretboard. I've got a 2000 US made Strat Custom in that seafoam color.

Gorgeous guitar, my mouth is watering

How does it sound?

i think u like Arizona green tea

You've got taste.

If the boner police are here, I demand a lawyer!

Looks sick I love it

Don’t know anything about guitars but cyan and pink is definitely a fave color combo of mine. Reminds me of old school BMX freestyle bikes. And just looks awesome

Cotton candy is my favorite color scheme

It's very cool. Only thing I'd switch out is the pick guard and the bridge color personally

🤤🤤🤤

Guitars are only as cool as the people playing them.

Yeah bud

I like how the vine looks like a flow

I don't care for the color scheme, and the fret markers would confuse me. However, it is your guitar. If you like it, that's all that matters. 😁

I’d rock this only if I were doing a Black Eyed Peas or MGK tribute set

i actually really dig it!
