It has passed 6 years since I made my first sticker bombed strat guitar. That electric guitar was a project and whole idea for sticker bombing was and experiment and was a success. Everybody loved it, and it also was a hit on the internet, those photos are still interesting to people who want to get ideas for stickerbombing guitars or similar things. My strat was used live, but after some time, it was not so great to play, because I was really hard to it, it was smashed, thrown from the stage many times and all those "wounds" made it almost broken and unfixable for electric guitar. So I retired it and after some time it went to parts.
2020 is officially shitty year for everything and everyone and because of the quarantine I decided to make another sticker covered Strat similar to the first one. This time I was not making it from scratch, just found a cheap strat and I had an idea to remove all electronics and leave just humbucker and volume pot. It was just a cheap SSS Stratocaster, so I made wider hole in the bridge position for humbucker, wired it and then started to work on the stickers and design.

As you can see, this time I went the path to cover the whole body with stickers, pickguard is also covered in stickers just the headstock is not covered but it still has 2-3 stickers on it :) And I am happy how it turned out, it has the vibe from that first sticker bombed Stratocaster. Rosewood fretboard gives it a different vibe, and the headstock is different but anyway it looks great. Maple fretboard would be better but it does not matter. This guitar plays better and I am sure it will be featured on Dichotomy Engine's new material and live gigs (when this COVID-19 is over). If you read this post, tell me how do you like it? is it better than the first one, worse or something else?
