My next build - another 7/8 Strat (24")

[Logrinn]

I pounced on a Screamin Deal 7/8 Strat body some days ago. When Warmoth lowered the price to $150 I knew I couldn't let it pass.

So while I'm waiting for this body to arrive I've started gathering parts. No bridge yet, but I got some bridge saddles that I'm planning to use:

I'm also going to pick up some Dimarzio pickups  :laughing7: that I've ordered. Area 61's. Going to be fun as always putting this one together.

Sounds cool. This will be a fun one to follow.

Got a photo of the body?

 

[Logrinn]

I didn't save one before it was removed from Warmoth's site.
But I'll see if I can find it.

 

[Logrinn]

Here it is:

The color is Bright Red! Just in time for xmas ...  :icon_biggrin:

 

[rgand]

Oh, yeah. That looks great. Thanks.

 

[Logrinn]

Thanks!  ccasion14:
As you can see I will have good use for red knobs on this one.
Or white ...

ccasion14: Merry Christmas!

I believe this is the Dimarzio Factory where the Area 61's come from.

Either one would work nicely.

Thanks, and you too.
I was half expecting this when I clicked on the map link;

Naw, DiMarzio has more tools than just hammers, like they're using. That's the Fender Custom Shop doing relicing.

Ow, ow, ow, my sides! It hurts!

[Logrinn]

I picked up the pickups for this build. 3 DiMarzio Area 61's.

I'm slowly but surely getting the parts I want. I'm going to call my guitar store tomorrow to see if they've received the Gotoh vibrato bridge I ordered.

 

[rgand]

Very cool. Another step forward.

 

[DarkPenguin]

Be careful, those are only safe for your hand palms. Any palm trees you own are on their own.

Shouldn’t be a problem. We only got about five or six palm trees in total here in Sweden.  :icon_jokercolor:

 

[Logrinn]

I now have more parts for this - and for several more builds as well.
Thanks to Robert I received a batch of Knobeez knobs yesterday.
Now, white or red for the Strat?

 

[Verne Bunsen]

My vote is red knobs on the white guard on the red guitar!

 

[rgand]

VB speaks the truth. That would be a good look.

Looking forward to seeing this done, should've gotten green knobs to make it extra Christmas-y :laughing7:
