Considering z body with strat neck

What say you?

I'd put on a reverse CBS strat! But I like the Warhead/Z body combo too

 

[Spud]

What say you?

Maybe I will mod the headstock into a Warhead shape.

I think reverse Warhead.

I had a Z body with a KL headstock about 15 years ago that was cool.

I already have the neck, so I probably will reshape it.

Small strat headstock or big? I think your plan to make it a warhead is probably the best. Not a ton of shapes would look good with the Z.

Why Z? No hate, no shade, but it's... definitely a vibe. I've been weirdly attracted to building a purple z with gold everything to learn modern complex big church gospel playing. I have no idea why other than the shape compels me.

I want a Z too. It just seems so… crazy. I feel too middle aged and uncool for it.

Spud I think you should mod the headstock into this:

I remember some basses with a z shape and a weird headstock, but a strat would work, it works for most body shapes .... or just saving the neck for another project and going with a reverse warhead, a reverse arrow or a meadow hawk. I'll look at my books tonight and see if I can find some examples. Maybe an arrow with Meadow Hawk inlays?
