Finished my second (and last build for a while) over the weekend. It was a pretty long winded and towards the end quite annoying process. So many damn screw holes to drill with a Strat! I made two f**k-ups. I stripped one of the tuner screws so now I cannot screw it down or out! :help: Also I forgot to buy any string t's, but I might get my tech to fit a couple when I get it set up. I'm also trying to work out why my high E string sounds so weak, maybe I need to tweak the pickups a bit. It plays amazingly well with my very crude set-up.
It was going to be a Korina Strat, but I had a change of heart after talking to a mate about finishing the Korina body. It has Callaham guitars Stratocaster assembly and its pretty good stuff.
Needless to say, it sounds fantastic.
INGREDIENTS:
MAPLE / ZIRICOTE STANDARD THIN NECK WITH VINTAGE TINT GLOSS AND VINTAGE FRETS.
CHECK OUT THE FIGURE
ALDER 4.2lbs BODY WITH CHARCOAL FROST FINISH
THE ORIGINAL PICKGUARD I WAS GOING TO FIT, IT CAME LOADED WITH BAREKNUCLE APACHES WHICH ARE ABSOLUTELY SMOKIN'
BUT! I HAD A CHANGE OF MIND AND BOUGHT THESE PARTS INSTEAD OF THE ABOVE
NEARLY THERE..... :glasses9:
ALL DONE
