Hi, from Palermo Italy

[Robertocaster]

I'm Roberto from Palermo  :hello2:
i'll buy a stratocaster neck and body for my '57/'62 replica.
I've just finished the pickguard wiring, with 3 fender custom shop '69 pu.
here there's a picture:

Sorry for my english

Your soldering looks really neat and clean.

Any idea what body wood and neck fingerboard you will be choosing ?

 

[stubhead]

Nabs, I need to learn some "Italian soldering techniques" - unless it's genetic? :icon_scratch:
Mine always looks like Einstein's hair, I prefer to think it shows my creative side....
Oh well, at least here in America we can drink twelve beers in half an hour and make love in thirty seconds. arty07:

Did you solder all the goobies before you bought the wood?

Body = simple alder, olympic white, 6 vintage hole trem
neck = one piece maple, vintage gloss finish, c shape (or V...), classic truss rod. For radius, nut width and frets i've not jet decided

The pickguard is mint green so...  this is my target (not relic!)

My great grandparents were from Palermo.  Their last name was Cira.  They moved to Chicago, where my grandparents were born, who moved to California, where my parents and I were born.  Not that anyone asked for my family tree...  We just don't get visitors from Palermo here too often.

+1 on the beautiful soldering.  I'd be embarassed for anyone to see mine.
