Hi guys,
Just joined the forum, and this may be my first official post here.
I've been browsing the whole site for the past or week or so trying to figure out which model to build.
And it's already been quite addictive even before starting any actual work LOL
Bottom line is that I can't make up my mind between a Tele or a Strat build.
Mainly probably because I might need some more information before I order a Kit.
I kind of know what I would like to achieve on both models, but there are still a couple of questions to be answered before I actually make up my mind
For a Tele build, I would be looking at throwing in a set of Tonerider PUs (single coil + humbucker for the neck) and the corresponding pick guard. But here the bridge is main question mark. Given that I don't have a drill press (nor access to any) I reckon a string through setup is a no go as I don't want to mess up the body for a first build.
What bridge would you recommend for a top loader configuration? The Babicz FCH Z Series look nice at a reasonable price. However a closer read reveals that it's a string through the body config.
Would you guys have any suggestions?
As for a Strat build I would be considering a HSH set up. Would you know if all the ST models are routed with PUs cavities for such a configuration?
And here also the bridge comes as decision making factor.
Which of those options would be best suited forthe Kits on offer: Babics FCH Z Series 2 point trem, babicz FCH Z Series 6 holes trem narrow and Babicz FCH Z Series 6 holes trem wide?
Any other suggestion is more than welcome
Cheers.
