Yes.  My strat is poplar and I've got a mahogany neck with an ebony fretboard.  The strat body was a steal and I couldn't resist.  I'm shooting for a polished relic antique early 80's super strat thing.  I've always been curious about the JB, so I picked up a gold JB trembucker, and a gold...

The strat body is routed for a single humbucker in the bridge location with a single hole drilled for a control pot.  You are correct about me not trying yet.  I may be just fine with it.  Many have suggested using a 250 pot to take the edge off a bit, so I figured I could use a concentric pot...

I'm putting a JB humbucker in a rear routed strat body.  Warmoth is supplying me a 500k concentric pot.  It was suggested that i use a 250k pot to roll off the highs of the JB.  Warmoth is sending a capacitor to add to the concentric pot to make one of the 500k knobs a 250 knob.  Am I correct so...

Excellent looking guitar!  All Natural.  Reminds me of this "Granola-Girl"(modern hippy chic) I dated in Kona.  Beautiful long hair, Tan, and not a tattoo to be found.  Ahhh...sweet memories. :doh: Anyhow...that's badass.  Turn it up. :guitaristgif: Shaneman

Hey Guys- Any idea where I could get a custom truss rod cover made?  I want some engraving on mine. Thanks, Shaneman

I understand where you're coming from(warmoth rules).  When I was young I was amazed w/ shredders and floyd rose tremelos.  Hell, Eddie Van Halen was my idol.  For me, there is nothing more comfortable than a stratocastor.  As I got older and steered away from shredders and started getting into...

Awesome Willy! I've just finished up my VIP body too w/ the Tung Oil.  Great to hear it's working out for ya mate!  So, you're a fireman?  Excellent.  Take it easy. Shane :guitaristgif:

Right On Guys!  Thanks for the help.  I'm so excited.  Warmoth is shipping me the rest of my components and then all I need is my Neck.  I'll start this weekend on the electronics installation.  I think I've got the wiring diagram down, but I'm not to sure about a black wire that runs between...

Thanks Man!!  :icon_thumright: Shane-O

Question: I have a VIP Body w/ contoured heel.  I have a standard thin Neck on the way.  Do I use all short screws for the neck plate or do I use 2 short and 2 long.  Also, I was told by the dude at Warmoth to use a curved humbucker mounting ring for the VIP, but....Just like I read from Jack on...

Thepriebster  I'm laughing my ass off still w/ the Port comment!! :laughing3:  Very F@#%ing funny! Shane-O

YEESSSSSSSSS !! :icon_thumright:  Sharp dressed Man! Shaneman

Guitarhobbyiist, I checked w/ stewmac before ordering the supplies to check for compatability.  This is a most important step :icon_thumright:  I've had good results so far.  The Tung oil takes a while ti cure though and even though I've not added any more coats of Behlens Tung Oil (8 total) in...

Man, I'm a Hawaii transplant actually.  I've been in Texas now a little over 3 years.  I moved to Texas for financial reasons.  It's easy to live and work out here, but it's not exciting to me, nor is it very scenic.  You just have to drive a large truck so you don't get run over by the...

Heyman... That's beers, steers & queers!  and yea, we got'em all.  We also keep shotguns hanging on the rear window gun rack of our truck.  God bless Ted Nugent. :headbang1: Shane-O
