Worn White — Candy Apple Undercurrent

Hand-built relic with depth and character

A hand-built loaded Strat body finished in relic’d Malmsteen white nitro over candy apple red, fitted with a set of my hand-wound pickups.

This is a complete, ready-to-go assembly. No chasing parts, no compatibility issues, no guesswork.

The pickups are wound in my workshop on the Barrington Coast, NSW. The neck and middle sit around a ‘60s-style output, with a slightly hotter bridge to keep things balanced. You get a clear, open Strat sound, proper in-between tones, and a bridge that actually holds up.

It’s wired with quality components throughout. Emerson paper-in-oil capacitor, CRL switch and Pure Tone jack. Solid, dependable parts that feel right and hold up over time.

The finish has been hand applied and worn in, with dings, checking and imperfections that give it a natural, broken-in feel rather than a forced relic.

Built on a genuine MIJ Fender body from the 1990s, refinished and assembled in my workshop.

A one-off build with its own look and voice, ready to drop into a guitar without the usual compromises.
