Had my second Stratocaster built by UK Luthier Alan Brason.
This one is for my son Andrew.
It's a bit different from the Hank Marvin Fiesta red ones.
Instead of an Alder body it has a flamed maple top with a swamp ash back. Birds eye maple neck. Kinman FV-HMS pickups.

It's been on order for 9 months and this video shows the day it arrived.
We also have another new arrival "Wilson" the 10 week old puppy Beagle who likes to chew the cardboard box and anything else he can reach.
Hope you like the video - I will use the new guitar on my next video.
Cheers Phil

Very nice guitar Phil I am sure he will be proud of it. As for the puppy Beagle I love Beagles and Wilson looks great and curious. :)

Thanks Guys for your replies, It's always exiting when a new toy arrives. :D
First time we've ever owned a dog he's already chewed through my speaker leads and keeps forgetting where the toilet is. :?

Paul the video cameras I use are Sony SR12's been around now since 2008.
They are very good have a 120gb hard drive. I think the new equivalent ones all use static storage.

Cheers Phil

Many years ago we got a 1 year old Pointer who chewed the TV remote control...

Take care he doesn't chew the new guitar !
