Another Strat build finished

Mattmc74 · 11-22-2009, 12:24 PM

Well here she is folks the Strat that I just finished yesterday.

Specs:
2 piece alder body with red/black burst finish
Maple neck w/ maple fret board
Standard Fender 2 point trem
Black Grover tuners
3 ply b/w/b single hum pickguard
Dimarzio volume pot and input jack
Seymour Duncan Alternative 8 Humbucker (thanks ibzorange!

)

Over all this is a bad ass sounding guitar! Very UNStrat like. Plays like a dream.
I got the neck and body in a trade I did with a local guy and this is the final results. Let me know what you all think of it!

On to the pics:

I do have another Strat neck that needs to be used in the next build but I'm really not totally positive on how I will build the next one. Maybe another 80's look strat?

ralphy1976 · 11-22-2009, 01:28 PM
