Pott Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 I'll need to sell off some things and save up for a lighter guitar. I really want an all black, simple Strat that I'd assemble myself with a single hum, hardtail... you get the picture. Something simple. So Alder body, all maple neck, standard dot inlays, Strathead, single humbucker with single volume pot (most likely a SD FullShred or EMG85)... Where in the UK can I order strat bodies and necks? Obviously the more customization the better, especially on the neck, but price IS A BIG CONSTRAINT! It needs to sound decent of course, and I do my own setups so that's being taken care of.

Thoughtless 7 Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 (edited) http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/home/index.php usually have good prices, but you could also check ebay. EDIT: It looks like they have changed their address. Edited June 12, 2006 by Thoughtless 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pott Posted June 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 (edited) Thanks! I may get one of their necks I couldn't find a ebay seller or them who did single him matt black strat bodies. There are no luthiers around here either Edited June 12, 2006 by Pott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoughtless 7 Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 http://www.axesrus.com/acoustic.htm They have some glossy black strat bodies, but i think they are designed for 3 pickups. You could also paint the body yourself as a last resort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pott Posted June 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 (edited) Not doable. I live in a flat in the city center and there's nowhere I could do that really. I have pretty limited options Do any of the UK forum dude take orders on single body + paint? Edited June 12, 2006 by Pott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToneMonkey Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Couldn't hurt In that case, I might ask him about an unfinished LP Double cut body as well Have you tried craft supplies, they might have something, I know they do bodies.

Pott Posted June 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 I'll try them too then thanks! Actually I thought what the heck and well... I may as well get a well resonant 2006 MIM Strat and maybe a custom neck and mod the heck out of it. New pickguard with a pickup or two, blocked trem for more sustain, fullsetup... They're light guitar and I love strats. That and those new MIMs are REALLY good instruments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
