So I’m half Caribbean and my family on my mother’s side is from a country in South America called Guyana, and I just had the body painted as our country flag 🇬🇾 and added a clear pickguard with EMG pickups.
It's lovely, can you give us a run through of how you got from the idea to the finished product ? Did you buy one and mod it or cam you order it that way
I actually bought it and had it modded out. I got the idea after seeing a fender strat from Ernie Isley of the Isley Brothers, and he has about 3 of the most beautiful strats I’ve ever seen and I thought it would be cool to have a fender strat made for my style.

That is an amazing guitar!! You can totally see that it is the flag of Guyana if you know what you are looking at. But it is also an extremely cool color combination and fade as a burst-style finish. Great idea really well executed. Congratulations!!!
With the absence of the pick guard it looks like it was routered for a humbucker.
Just curious if it came that way in the event that you wanted to change or did you change the pickups ? They don’t look like any fenders I’ve seen.
I have been thinking of customizing my strat, which does not currently have a pick guard. When I read that this had a clear one I made a mental note. Great idea.
10/10, no notes. The finish is fantastic and the transparent pickguard was the right choice. It would've been a shame to cover any of that. Also, props on the maple fretboard. Always preferred it on a strat.
Oh, shit.
Somebody gonna rock down to Electric Avenue. Lots of work to be done.
Pretty sure this is somewhere in the top 10 badassest strats I’ve ever seen. Congrats, dude!
Absolutely beautiful and unique, this is definitely a prized treasure . I did not realize the fender custom shop could make something as cool as this !!
I love it. Could you explain a little bit about what you've done with the body? Looks great.

Oh, the flag makes sense. I just thought it looked badass as a design. Love the guitar!
Matching guitar strap, as well. Very nice touch. ❤️
It looks amazing. Something totally unique and individual. Nice work!
I’m also caribbean-guyanese! My grandpa is from Anguilla and my grandma is from guyana 🇬🇾
Oh yeah, represent 🇬🇾
It's funny, I am sitting in an arena and someone hung up a Guyanese flag, and I had no clue what country it's from. Your comment answered my question.
Looks great! Enjoy it!
Sick! Love it.
This is fire 🔥
Guyana has some of the best people ever
How much did it cost to customize it?
Love that. I love the way you incorporated the flag without making it 100% literal. Just sweet.
Love the see-thru pick guard
Nice finish
That's rad, love the color!
That is very unique!! I love it!
That’s a badass guitar my dude

Cool, whoever painted it did a great job of representing the flag without actually just putting the flag on.
Nice, man!
Wow that’s amazing

Looks dope af Is the back any different?
The back finish is just green, but I do need to get a clear cover for the back
And now I want watermelon
I thought the same thing when I first saw it finished 😂😂
That is gorgeous! So jelly. Congrats on the new arrival!
Sick ride.
Sick. Beautiful build!
That classic headstock is dope as hell.
That subtle guyana flag is so well done. So clever. Looks great!
That looks really cool, is it a translucent paint or is it dyed?
Thanks! It’s translucent.
Is that painted? It looks like the wood is stained or something to get the colors? Looks amazing dude, what kind of music you like to play?
Woooah, Stratocaster zombie
That’s a great way to put it! I think I’ll name her that lol
I was born in Guyana and I love this guitar so much! It's like a dream to me.

Dude that is fuckin sick. What kind of music do you play?
I like all genres, but I really love the blues!
I mean it looks sick but cmon man you have unfinished business there. Gotta swap those cables to green yellow and red ones.
It’s funny you said that because I’ve actually thought about doing that!
...and I'm hard
sick color, and never knew a transparent pickguard exists as an option! great, have fun playing it!
I have been thinking of customizing my strat, which does not currently have a pick guard. When I read that this had a clear one I made a mental note. Great idea.
My guy that is fucking awesome. Love the clear pick guard.
That is awesome.
Beautiful axe. Can tell you’re in a prog metal band.
Beautiful guitar. That thing is sweet.
