I believe that the last Lotus Strat Adrain had in his hands underwent a bit of cosmetic surgery and came out of the recovery room a new woman, Dirty Girl.

I have a
- jack
- black or white s-s-s pickguard - whire H-H PG (no promise about the holes - you may have to dowel and drill
- complete chrome trem bridge (Do you need springs?)
- trem bar

AWESOME...
Black PG. s-s-s Please Sir. Dowel and drill is no issue
springs-- yes please -- these are rusted and wonky

sounds GREAT!!! Thanks Ray!!!

 

[RVA]

Oh, and tuners

I would like to throw in my 2 cents and say I would like to see a white PG-Clapton strat. The black-on-black lacks character and contrast.

Ray, does your jackplate also have the jack, itself? It’s a little hard to tell from the pic.

All I have is a jack; I don’t have the recessed jack plate.

Yes, but it is the basic/import type.

[Session 5]

I have once again agreed toi SOLDER (ugh)


Gang-- a friend of mine has "scored" a vintage 70's LOTUS Strat----FB sale--- 25.00 (yes TWENTY-FIVE)

it needs ---well --- THINGS --- I have offered as he is NEW to the guitar/gear life-----at the ripe old age of --well older than me--- and has recently encountered some medical issues and set backs (not mine to divulge) lets just say Brother needs a hand.

I have agreed to do the repairs/refureb/set up etc.

I will shell the $ for the tuners--- strat trem, block, saddles and bar--

input Jack

POSSIBLY some pups---pots (UGH--soldering) etc...

HOWEVER---if anyone here has any of these items--- lying around--- they might like to "contribute" to this project---

The work/build will be somewhat (you know me) documented and followed here on the forum-----

PLease post up here "whats ya gots" and we can converse on fitment etc.

Thanks in Advance-- hoping to make this a good solid player for him -- its ROUGH but its got SOLID bones and a GREAT feeling neck ----which will need frets dressed and polished---I even think the body is 1 solid piece of timber I see no joints or cracking in the paint to indicate multiply!!

The Lotus i'm familiar with has four wheels on it. Looks like a good guitar for mods.

I'm not reading this whole thread, but I can offer up a set of MIM Stratocaster pickups, some knobs, maybe a pickguard and various other parts to be located...
