Ash Strat Reset

Found my broken wire. the Jack Hot out wire was snapped inside teh shrink wrap. one tug and she unplugged.
Now it's in bits I am going tom play with soem push pulls for the baby humbuckers

Damit....had this thing appart quite a few times today. found it was a dodgy pickup. It's bin bound. Altogether again. had to use the sealed pickup. Still looks good sounds great plenty of sustain.
Buttercup is officially finished but for setting the string height and intonation...

Thank you ball boys thank you linesman.

Intonation done, but need to go back and recheck the neck relief as 'g' string flatlines on the 9th and 10th frets(no note difference). As this strings action is pretty high I need to recheck it. I don't have the tools to do a fret level job on it.
The Red Lady plays a whole lot better than Buttercup at this stage, but Butters has work to be done.

Bring on the Junior. :D

Had a problem with this Strat's neck. It was grounding out on the 11th fret on the 'B' string,for those that don't understnd what I mean the notes on the 10th fret and 11th fret are the same. no buzz...
so I got the Capo on the first fret and wound the truss rod up a bit. I fixed the 'B' String. put it all back together nicely. plugged her back in tuned her up. DOH. the grounding has moved to the 'G' string 12th fret. I just can't pick a winner with htis thing. I am thinking it needs a bit of skilled neck work, something that requiers some specialist fretting gear. all I have is a deadblow hammer, no slotted straight edge, no sanding block. So. if anyone on the west side of melb near Werribee has the right gear, I'd apprieciate a little help. :)

Buttercup just got fostered out for a little money, less than it cost me to build.

She's gone to Bacchus Marsh with Marc to become a plaything for his 17yo grandson

Farewell sweet strat.
