Strat parts build 1st try

[BFT Gibson]

Well the parts have probably traveled the globe & are here finally. Took 1 week, not bad. Have done loaded pickguards before & know how to set up pretty good. Never did a neck. The neck started it, on CL for $15, took a chance. Inspired by Sp8 he is doing a blackout also, cool thread goin on there. Well here we go, 2 problems ..notice the black input jack i ordered ? Not ! the studs for bridge were set up for a Wilkinson trem. . Not sure where to put the cell phone, but at least its black.

I would not know where to begin, but I will one day....
All of you are inspiring me to get busy...and TRY

[Trident]

Nah!
If I were to try n put that together it would wind up with a Ratt Motor in the center

That's crazy talk, Trident.
A Strat and all it's parts has to be the easiest thing ever since the Telecaster to build.

Here if I ever set up to build a guitar, I am likely to wind up building it from rough sawn lumber that I shape and build myself right down to the neck. It might not be the fastest or most cost effective when one factors in the labor costs, but it will definitely put my skill level into the chalk up another skill I put in my toolbelt.

This is a mightymite body that was gifted to me and some squire parts.
This is how it first came out

Thanks brother

 

[Trident]

Bet she sounds good too...

 

[Mitch Pearrow SJMP]

She sure did after I put that SD 59 in the bridge, the grandson helped out a buddy of his and sold to him really cheap, with his mg30, so the young man got a really rocking package!
Cheers Mitch

Mitch, I have 2 Squiers and one EPI LP and even one Japanese made Fender P Bass.

I would not hesitate to play them anywhere.
