mairj40 Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) I picked up a Fender body for a pretty reasonable price. I put a Fender licensed neck on it and then used some parts that I had laying around to finish it. I bought a Fender tremolo with an oversized trem block. I think it improved the tone some. I ordered a wiring kit for it with CTS pots. I also ordered a white pearl pickgurd for it. I was pretty pleased with the outcome.

ScottR Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 I would be pleased with that as well. There was a time when I thought the big CBS headstock looked best. Now.....well it is pretty big isn't it? How do you like it? SR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mairj40 Posted January 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Thanks Scott. I go back and forth on the headstock. I tend to like the smaller headstock better. But then sometimes I look at the bigger one, and think it looks ok. I think I'm going to try and find a neck with a smaller headstock, and maybe a maple neck. If it looks better, I'll leave it on. But if it doesn't, I can always switch it back and use the other neck for another project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 I am also a fan of the big 70's headstock, retro and cool, would look even better with a custom logo on it. The guitar looks great especially the pickguard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
