TeleFreak Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 (edited) Hey guys, for my first project I decided to assemble a guitar rather than build one. And so several months and several hundred dollars later I am one gold tremelo and one gold neckplate away from a finished guitar. Here are the specs... All genuine Fender Parts... 1998 MIM Neck 1996 MIA Body 3-Ply Red Tortoise Pickguard Texas Specials Schaller Straplocks (Not Shown) All Gold Hardware Body Close-up Headstock Edited January 4, 2005 by TeleFreak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlGeeEater Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 You said it Drak. Usually i don't like gold hardware but that looks awesome man! Whats up with the rosewood by the first fret? Is it wear or just its nature? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveq Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Sweet!! Those pics make me want to reach out and grab it. One stupid question: what does MIA stand for? What type of wood is the body made of (OK, make it two)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadhouse Blues Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Very nice reminds me of my '99 roadhouse. Very similar, and I like the texas specials very much. I got mine secondhand from a great guy whos a collector and gave me a great price, how much did you pay for all of your parts (just wondering) Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeleFreak Posted January 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Whats up with the rosewood by the first fret? Is it wear or just its nature? That actually is the grain of the rosewood. What type of wood is the body made of? I believe the body is alder, it's one solid piece too. how much did you pay for all of your parts? So far I'm up to $773 Canadian including all S&H and Duties.
