Woltz's semi-scratch strat build

That’s looking absolutely magic. Not one for ornate hardware but that bridge plate looks MINTED!

Haha Franken I agree it's nice but that bridge plate has been scrapped from this build. I'd have to relocate the bridge pickup route to get the scale length correct and also alter the shape of the cavity to get a pickup to fit because the hole in the plate isn't cut at the correct angle. Obviously if I made those changes then if I want to change parts in the future it would present problems.

Geez that's a bit of a shame, the relief carving in it seems to sit well with the darker grain tones that shoot through that top.

Not to be i guess! Lovely stuff at any rate.
