A Happy Hardtail…

[NovasScootYa]

This build consists of a Warmoth Pro Construction Birdseye Maple Neck, Brazilian Rosewood board, Clapton Profile, Vintage size 6230 SS frets, Double Line Kluson tuners, Tusq nut, F Spagetti Logo, finish a light Nitro base amber tint with clear coats.
The hardtail body is a 3 lb. 15 oz. KNE Alder '50s Style Routed SSS, Nitro Vintage Cream AKA Vintage White also painted by me. Pickguard is a Fender Engine Turned, pickups are calibrated Fralin Vintage Hots with a bridge bass plate, 3-way Switch, CTS pots, cloth wiring, Fender US '62 vintage bridge, strings are .010 - .046 GHS Nickel Rockers.
The neck pocket was routed .020” so bridge saddles and string height would setup correctly. Four neck inserts and stainless screws were also installed. The build took over 6 months to accumulate select parts, supplies, tweaking, paint time, etc. Excellent instrument however it is my last 4-bolt for awhile and it's Sold.
