Building a BC-1 guitar for my son

[Trevor Davies]

I do have a question abou the two strap mount points. Because the guitar's a non-standard (eg Strat) kind of shape, I'm ot sure where to put the rear mount point. See pic 5. I've put a blue-green square where I think the front one should go. What do you think about the rear one?

The Pitbull video I watched said in line with the neck etc, all the way to the rear of the guitar. But I'm not sure that will work in this case?

thanks for your thoughts!

Hi Barno,
check out the pictures at https://bcrich.com/product/beast/

They have the strap buttons a bit further back on the front horn and the other on the back. Not sure if I would have it quite so high on the rear - I think I would have placed it on the side of the body (not the back), maybe a bit like on a flying V.

Oh wow - thanks Trevor. I never thought to put them on the back!

I think I'll bput the one at the front on (at the back of the guitar) and then say to my son we'll experiment and let him choose the location for the rear one. I agree, I think it needs to go down a bit.

Great resource - and thanks again!

Tonight is adding the 6 x nuts to the head - that bit should be ok.
Tomorrow testing the pickups and adding the bridge... that should be fun 👍🤣
