I Bought A Surplus Eighties Custom Body.


Recommended Posts

A guy I know used to custom build guitars in the eighties was getting rid of of a lot of stuff he had lying around including THIS.

Now, I'm thinking: Floyd Rose, white cover EMG SA pickups, or white cover Duncan hot rail pickups and a self made birdseye maple neck with ebony fingerboard would be a good way to make this one a cool player don't you guys think?

and I also bought a bass he never fished.

Nice find. And your plan sounds like a good one. Have at it!

What kind of wood is the strat back made of?

Zebrano if I'm not mistaken.

And check this out, I put the bass together. I nicknamed it "Tangarine" I guess it's not too hard to see why...

It has EMG pickups, the de-fretted neck of an eighties Westone bass and the body itself is mahogany with a birdseye maple top.
