Free Soloist Body (just pay shipping)

[Strat Avenger]

I have a Soloist body that I am offering free to a good home. I figure 30 bucks would cover shipping in the continental U.S.
Why am I getting rid of it? Because I have another one just like it but with a koa top, which I want to build. I know I will never build both of them.

I paid something like $350 for this body. I started grain filling it with Crystalac (after a couple coats of Tru-Oil which darkened it nicely) but never finished the job. 'Still needs level-sanding and final finish.
The specs are:
- Roasted swamp ash
- S-S-H body-mounted pickup routing
- Rear routed electronics cavity
- Hardtail Fender American Standard bridge mounting holes
- Contoured heel
- .720 Mod
- One volume control hole
- 5-way blade selector switch slot
- 7/8" side output jack hole

Let me know if you're interested.

Very cool of you!

I want it, but I know that “deal” is going to trigger more spending I just don’t need in my life!

Great deal, it would be gluttony on my part, do you by chance have a free neck? Lol

No Warmoth necks that I can spare. I have a 22 fret Ibanez neck, C-shape, maple with rosewood fretboard, 12" radius with locking nut, and a 24 fret ESP LTD neck that would never fit a Warmoth (or Fender) neck pocket.

Okay, someone has accepted the offer. I hope he will post pics here when it's all done.
