Simon's Super Strat Scratch Build.

And this is what you will end up with.




I couldn't help but do a quick mock build. I already ordered black hardware, which will look stunning once the guitar is finished.

well done Simon this is shaping up to be an excellent scratchy. So you just got to route the control cavity on the back and is the output jack going on the bottom side ?
Didn't see any pics of your 3 plugger safety boots ! Just in case Worksafe are watching hahah

So you planning a 5 way switch, 1 volume and 1 tone ?

[SIMpleONe89]

Yup cavity will be behind. 5 way switch with a push pull for coil split and another for 7 way mod.

sounds interesting Simon the wiring plans you have. Have you got resident wiring guru Weirdy to help with a diagram ?

oh and you can still burn your feet with solder wearing 3 pluggers mate hahah

Yup I have wiring diagrams and I did it on my tele. With this mod you can get the neck and bridge in parallel, the desired tele tone.

Haha many things can go wrong in the garage but fortunately no accidents yet!

How did you hold down the mdf as routing guides? Double sided tape?

Yes, but I frequently use the masking tape with super glue trick. Put masking tape on both sides and run a bit of super glue on one side and press both together. The tape gets glued together, giving a strong bond.
