Working on another strat. Alder body, JB with two Fender Alnico 3 singles. Gotoh 510TS bridge. Just waiting for the neck to come in.

 

[Docster]

What kind of neck?

I just finished my own strat project.

I like your style. Here's my project...

Where did the body come from??

 

[SFW]

Evilbay. It's a 2008 Fender Am Standard body.

Here's my American standard before and after pics. The Duncan Distortion / Jazz combo, single volume knob and 3 way switch are all I need. Killer sounding guitar I also added the Gotoh 510 which was quite an improvement to the stock trem. Wish I would've went with a Floyd though. Still might, just have to figure out how difficult it'll be

Here's a crappy cell phone pic of the guitar all put together. I still need to do some work on the nut to stop the string binding, but she plays great.

70s HS FTW....classy as hell man. Good job!

Fuck I need a new project. MJT is calling my name...

 

[Gitfiddler]

Classy! I dig

 

[Mailman1971]

Sweet! Looks groovy!!

 

[Fragglerick]

Love that look!!
How do the Alnico 3's pair with the JB? Are you using a 250k or 500k volume pot?

 

[SFW]

They pair well enough. I believe that it has a 250k volume. It was a Fender pickguard that I just slapped a JB into. I'll eventually put a pair of CS69s in it.

She's a beauty. It will be perfect if you relic this guitar. A three tone sunburst relic Fender guitar is to die for.

 

[SFW]

It's already got a few deep scars so... If you notice the upper horn and a spot by the neck joint on the upper bout. I'll finish the relic job by playing the shit out of it.
