So here is a quick throw together scrap wood strat. Fresh off the cnc, still need to do the belly carve and arm relief. I will do those by hand it's faster.  started this Friday, almost no work on it Saturday and a few hours today. All total maybe 8 hr's so far. using a strat neck from a pulloff I got cheap. Waiting on a set of tuners. have a pickguard with H/H setup and using a hardtail. MK Wiped down with some Minerals spirits

So the RATocaster is technically done,just needs strings and a setup. I may later put an oil finish on it, it has a seal coat of shellac on it now. Only 18.5 hrs in this.  MK
