Sweet. Thanks for clearing that up. Happy to give Warmoth the $25, one less thing for me to mess up on my first build :)

Thanks! Sounds reasonable. Warmoth installs the bridge anchors into the body, and the studs screw into those, right? My main worry is that the two studs jutting out from the body would make it more difficult to paint, finish and sand, but I can just unscrew the studs and cover the anchors with...

Curious, why would you recommend this? (I am in the exact same scenario as OP)

I was about to post a very similar thread when I found you asking almost the same question I had. I'm contemplating a HSS setup with a Bare Knuckle Holy Diver as the bridge HB, and single coils DiMarzio Area 67 (middle) and Area 61 (neck). From what I've read about them, the Holy Diver is...

Ha not really. At least not any time recently. I’m ok with it not coming out looking flawless. Though the photo of the body below looks great!

Nope! New to the forums though. First build :)

Hi all, Planning a build soon with a painted alder strat body and I plan to involve my young kids in the painting process. I don’t have an extensive home shop setup so I’m looking for something safe and easy to apply with a minimum of offgassing. Has anyone used Liquitex water based acrylic...
