I understand now. Thanks for the visuals.

While still not 100% clear on what you have in your tool kit already, I'll make some assumptions. It appears that you have a template for a general Strat shape, given the tracing you've done on the blank already. What you'll need in addition to (or in place of) is a template set that includes...

We tend not to be populated by toxic guitar people here. ;)

To my eye, that's just drilling two holes oneself, for the toggle switch and output jack after ordering with the LP layout. What challenges stand in your way that we might possibly help with in doing that?

How some of the little things in these videos may have unexpected impacts: I'm using that exact same bridge in a different build and the tips and discoveries like this are very, very helpful.

While I personally would not need them, I can see the value for those who are just getting into the hobby. And as for buying the matching hardware from WM, I don't see that as an issue. I have a Showcase body that was routed for a Floyd, and since it seems like dimensions for the "original...

You do understand that it's not just "pick a web product off the shelf, buy it, and that's it" right? And that this topic is from two months ago.

Just like a song: upon first publication, as it's being treated as a "work of art." For those of us who are tired of listening to people blather on in videos and would many to read (I really hate being directed to videos when I'm trying to understand something that doesn't require visual or...

The theme just warms my metal heart! :D

I need to highlight this point to make sure there's no misunderstanding. If this was another forum I shall not mention, I would expect that some users would throw a temper tantrum when they expected a 3 lb. featherweight but received a 9 lb. body then proceed to bash WM for it right after...

Web forms are hit or miss and have been for 30+ years. Direct emails or **gasp** phone calls (aka "real-time voice chat apps") work better.

My 5' 7" self would have words with you if I wasn't 5' 7". (actually, I might even be shorter, as I haven't measured in quite a few years and I am over the age of 50 now)

I'm a metal guy. The Strat proportions are a little too common and plain. Even my Red Death guitar, the E. A. Poe-inspired design that was based on a Mighty Mite Strat body, I wish it was a little more extreme in proportions, but I just couldn't pass up that candy red finish.

Probably with a lot of "we're never doing this again" being muttered. :D

I love Solo Guitars. They were the ones who got me hooked into this whole guitar-building thing in the first place! My first one was a Mockingbird kit. The guitar I posted is the Nazgûl, named after the Seymour Duncan Nazgûl pickup I used. Show-off thread here...

Next step in troubleshooting: can you visit a music store and just try out different electrics? This is to see if we can isolate the case in a more broad sense. So far, it seems like we've been focusing on the modularity of your Strat, but before exploring any further modifications to that...

Wow, beautiful work! Glad you figured out how to post photos, because I think we're all richer now for it! Also, really great job in matching up the cavity cover to the rest of the body. But I'm also of the mind that perfect isn't always necessary and sometimes, you just gotta go for blatantly...

You might be onto something. Your ring finger tip is hitting the higher notes on many chord shapes so if that's where the source of pain is, it could be the difference in string gauges if your acoustic has heavier gauge strings compared to your electric (and switching to a Tele is unlikely to...

I still eventually want to make a Gecko 6. It'd be the missing string configuration in my bass collection (I have a 4, 5, and 7 string). Not that I need a 6-string or even the 7-string I own; I just want one. :D

I want an ash KNS in dragon burst on AAA-grade quilt maple lam-top for 60% off. No, no, Aaron, don't get up. I'll show myself out.
