Simo Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 I thought I'd post some pics of the Strat body I've just finished building, it was built for the guitarist of a local band called Secretality Spec: 2 piece Sycamore body Wilkinson trem Bare Knuckle 'Warpig' humbuckers Mighty Mite neck, 'V' profile Starting to take shape... http://usera.imagecave.com/Simnett/basstem027.jpg Out of focus shot after more routing.... http://usera.imagecave.com/Simnett/syca.JPG Trem route... http://usera.imagecave.com/Simnett/trem.JPG Test fitting all the parts... http://usera.imagecave.com/Simnett/stratddd.JPG After the arm rest and 'gut cut' were shaped it was ready for final sanding and then a few coats of 2k primer... http://usera.imagecave.com/Simnett/primer.JPG I can't take credit for the paint job it was painted by a friend of mine who runs a small car accident and repair shop next to my workshop. I didn't manage to get any really good pictures of the finished body before it was collected (the one below doesn't do it justice at all) but Dave has promised to send me some pictures of the complete guitar this weekend and hopefully some sound clips too, so I'll post them up when I get them.

Simo Posted December 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Dave sent me some pictures of the finished guitar today. To quote Dave....''Such a nice guitar, it feels nice too, its not like a normal strat with the extra weight, which makes it a lot better, and the sound it gives through the boogie, is just immense!''...a happy customer I think Playing live.... http://usera.imagecave.com/Simnett/stratolive.jpg Some more shots of the body.... http://usera.imagecave.com/Simnett/strato2.jpg http://usera.imagecave.com/Simnett/strato3.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
