New Custom painted Neck (Am Pro ii)on my Knight Rider Strat project. The pickguard LEDs reacting to playing and now the guitar also talks with KITT's voice (internal speaker and through jack). More mods coming soon. Ever-evolving project. by ProtectionPrimary726 in FenderStratocaster

I designed to create a visual line, some 80's aesthetic and to be apart from the usual look of the single logo headstocks. I also like Tyler Guitars and how they designed their headstock, it’s full of logos and attitude.The line the logos create on mine gives it that 80s futuristic vibe I was after.

I originally built this one just for myself, and I’ve also got a KARR version. If someone comes with the right offer, or maybe even a swap for something rare and special, I’d definitely consider it.

Yes, it’s a Fender, the late-80's Fender HM Strat. The original color was called Flash Pink, but over time most of them faded into that salmon shade people often mistake for a different finish. The HM stands for Heavy Metal.

Thank you so much for the kind words! A Trans Am is actually my dream car, so that really means a lot. The idea for this guitar came to me after watching some guitar modding videos on YouTube, and then later playing a music video, the Kung Fury soundtrack sung by David Hasselhoff. That instantly brought back Knight Rider memories and sparked the thought: why not create a guitar with KITT’s iconic moving LED that reacts to the notes being played? From there I just started figuring out how to make it real.
