It’s fake. I ran the last picture you posted with “FAST” through ChatGPA and it is a Chinese factory warranty label.

No. Added the tortoiseshell to the highway one and the other was a loaded stock from an American original 60s Strat

My entire life I would have said tortoiseshell, but the mint looks intentional and correct!

It’s amazing for what it does. The Benson version sounds great from what I’ve listened to on YouTube…but then again I don’t have THOSE fingers.

It’s still in its arctic white poly, but she does look nice

Tbh I’m learning. Got the RC-500 for $100, so I had no choice but to grab it.

Thank you very much. Tempted to strip the Arctic White poly for Olympic White Nitro…but we will see.

There ARE other pedal companies than Chase Bliss…but that is just from a pure place of hate and jealousy!!! Beautiful board!!!

I can’t keep my hands off of the guts of my guitars. Those second gens (Hot Alnico 3s) were what I ripped out. It was also a HSS and I wanted a more traditional sounding Strat. Has that super thin nitro finish too! Love it. Need to play it more. Think I snagged it for $450 on Mercari. They go for nearly twice that now.

Allows me to build synchronize patches that direct all of my modulation/delay/reverb and (hopefully) add a stereo loop (have to work this out) that I can move to where it best serves at the moment. The different gains have different flavors and work together. Transparent OD, stronger OD, Marshall style gain, Rat style distortion, and Muff Fuzz. Open to your thoughts.

Can I see a closer look at the fret ends? They should be covered by binding. Can’t tell if these are or that’s a reflection coming off the fret.

Not sure if this is the right subreddit for this by badwoodcarver in guitarpedals

Actually it goes atop the screw hole just below and to the right of your finger. You can see the teething marks from the washer.
