A Strat project too far...

[Rockfactor]

Hi all

Kit three has arrived




First thing I noticed was there is something missing? Well, something is where it shouldn’t be. There is timber where the tremolo route should be. Must have been a Friday afternoon rush job. No worries, I’ll see if Adam can post me out a tremolo route hole All attempted jokes aside, it will be good experience / practice to do my own route.
The plan for this one is a tribute to one of my favourite guitar slingers of all time. Any guesses just from the gear shown. A clue is I’m on the hunt for a left handed gold tremolo for this one the rougher the better if anyone has one kicking around.

I’ll update as I progress. Thanks for looking...

What a weird thing for them to forget! Good luck with the routing. Curious to see what your plans are for the build

I’ve emailed Adam to see what my options are. The body is a nice piece of timber. Too nice for me to tear it up

Yeah, you should make it a string through. its awesome.

A bit of inspiration....

What bridge came with the kit?

Time for a hardtail bridge, and to make a hardtail ;D

What bridge came with the kit?

Looks like a trem sitting on top of the body Churchie

Could get a Tune-o-matic bridge, and make a T-O-M strat......

I've always been intrigued about things like that

Go Avant garde and add a traditional archtop bridge and a trapeze tail piece!

Hardtail it! Adding a tune o matic or archtop bridge will require either to angle the neck pocket or recess the bridge.
