Fake Stratocaster wall hanging build.

[Que]

Neck and headstock with frets and dots in place. The frets are made from solder unrolled and tacked on with craft glue and the dots I raided from a paper hole puncher. I tried to stain the fretboard to look like rosewood but it just wasn't working out so I just painted it semigloss black and called it a day. The nut (the little piece between the headstock and the fretboard) is made from a popsicle stick. Time to look for body parts.

you are doing a really nice job, i can't believe how well its coming along! Have you considered using something like willow strips to form the outside of hte body? If you soak it in water, its formable and pliable.
