New Strat Bitsa from stuff kicking around

paulnb57

I bought a solid Rosewood neck from @johnl recently and have been desperate to fit it to something!
So yesterday I was in the loft looking for something not guitar related and rediscovered my left/right Strat body that @GSPBASSES made me yonks ago, it still had its modded scratchplate attached, the seed of an idea was sown, so, a rummage through several boxes of bits soon had a guitar assembled and setup...
Its amazing the amount of bits I have....anyroadup, spec is
Wilky bridge
Iron Gear Overwound Pig Irons
Pickup screws/springs are intonation jobbies stolen from an old bridge!
CTS Pots
Tele knobs
Five way switch
Schaller locking tuners (bought specifically for the neck)
Round string trees

Turned out really well, setup is great, neck is sublime, so silky smooth, with no finish....
But it has some issues....
Not keen on the pickups, they are all I had, especially the bridge, but that is usual for me, I have a BK Sinner to replace it...I like Sinners!
Tone pots are all or nothing
Volume pot doesn't work!.....

Next string change will see fettling of the issues, but overall I love it!

Love that Paul!! You sure you dont want the pots to go with the pups? Sounds like you might need them..

I couldn't deal with the lefty body personally (although I like the black/grain), but the neck looks AMAZING!!!

I have pots of pots! I think I cocked up the wiring, pickups sound better now Ive readjusted the amp after the pink one had dusted......DUH!
