Hello, I am James. 64 years hobby woodworker for a few years, sloppy garage band guitar player.
I just bought the FS-1 kit. I have always wanted a Starcaster and now I値l have one. After unpacking, a few questions come to mind; feel free to chime in if you know the answer. If anyone has built one or similar I know I値l feel better having a wing man on this effort. The things that came to mind:
1: set neck looks like it has no definite position to be glued into. Is the only way to be sure to get a tape measure and determine scale length from the pre drilled post holes for the bridge?
2. How good are the electronics and pickups? With dime-sized pots, I知 thinking of replacing all electronics. What about the pickups? Who makes them, and how do they sound? I知 prepared to get what I payed for here and spend as much as the kit on a set of Wide Range style pickups.
Anyway, I知 excited and looking forward to the project.
Things a I have built:
Partscaster Tele: EBay neck, Guitar fetish body
Slabcaster Tele: Body from a maple slab i shaped, mighty mite neck, guitar fetish electronics.
Acoustic Guitar build in Woodcraft 3 day class.
