    Partscaster Re-Born

    Just to add another project to the list...

    I’ve had this partscaster knocking around for a long while.. the time has come to rejuvenate it.

    Fender neck (about 10 years old), Allparts alder body

    The neck will be Tru Oil finished. The body- sonic blue or very similar. FW - no SFG here!

    The neck is currently sanded on the back (seemed the thing to do back in the day).

    First task get the old finish off. With my JBA kit I really have become a slave to the sanding God’s.

    Electronic-wise (and thanks for the idea Chuck!) it will have a strat neck and middle pup and standard Tele bridge pup. I love a stratish sound but prefer Teles!

    GFS sell these handy pickguards...

    And some pictures

    Before






    After 15 minutes with some 120 grit


    A long way to go yet.... not looking forward to sanding the sides...
