I am pretty new to this site, and as of last April I have become somewhat of a guitar builder/ repairman. I currently have one guitar that i built myself, all but the neck because i haven't learned how to properly do that yet. I will put pics of it when i get them, and the guitar pictured is the Hellcaster!! You can imagine why I named it that if you look at my pictures.
My Hellcaster is made from an 80's Mako Stratocaster copy, which needed so much work that i completly stripped it and rebuilt it from bare wood up.
The Hellcaster may be strung up and in working order, but it is FAR from finished. When it was drying from painting, my friends mom decided she needed to sweep the garage so paint chips got mixed into the finish. Also it was not evenly coated, and I am going to sand it down a bit and re-apply the clear coat. The wiring must also be redone, it turned out that the switch that was installed wasn't good and only the first two selections work. Along with a few more little tweaks and such, the nut will be replaced with a graphtech one and the trem will be fixed (it needs new springs and such).

Thanks so much for checking it out and any criticism/ help/ advice or whatever is appreciated as long as it is not cruel!!
EDIT: P.S. My initials are IRS so I decided to name any guitar I make an 'IRS Guitar'. Also I'm just a 17 year old kid working out of a school woodshop so its hard to get much done in a day unless I'm over my friends house in his garage like how the Hellcaster was born.
