"Starcaster" Build

[ihasmario]

First cab off the ranks with the Starcaster! Looking forward to seeing this progress. Looks like the cap is symmetrical? Should come up a treat.

Yeah I am pretty sure the way they did it was they sliced the veneer off the same block back to back and then flipped one of them upside down. Bookmatching or whatever its called, they're pretty damn close.

Others will likely finish before me - I'll be building it with my girlfriend and I have a bit of research to do regarding parts.

Fender WRHB's are larger than a standard humbucker, so unless the body is routed for the specific size or you can find a way to enlarge the rout, it unfortunately won't fit. Blue should look sweet!

Yah, I'm giving it a test tomorrow with a local guy who has some. Otherwise it's something a bit different. Haven't quite decided if it'll be a WRHB clone that is standard humbucker size or if I'll do something different/more modern. I am pretty sure there is a solid centre block in this kit of some variety - so I may even end up opening the route a bit (translation: getting someone to do it for me)
