Super strat build

grinder

Hello all! Here's the progress of my super strat build:

https://ibb.co/album/gFpN2G?sort=date_desc&page=1

Mr. Peter Tait from Shoreline Guitars did the neck for me. He also helped shaping the neck pocket. The body is from guitarbuild.co.uk.

Here are some specs:

1. Roasted maple neck with ebony fretboard and 22x 6100 stainless steel frets.
2. The radius is 10-16" compound and the neck profile matches the wide thin of my PRS SE Torero.
3. Width at nut is 43mm and dual action truss rod.
4. The guitar body is 3 piece alder.
5. The hardware (bridge, tuners) is from Hipshot.
6. Pickups to be installed: Seymour Duncan SH-10B Fullshred (bridge) and Tesla VR-3 (neck).

Next steps are:

1. Collect the build shown in the pictures (obviously )
2. Spray paint it with cans.
3. Install the pickups and rest of the electronics (which I haven't purchased yet).

This is a a project that I 've been researching since last May, but started to get implemented mid-July.

Certainly not so advanced compared to what other fellow fretboarders build all these months. I don't have the skills and the equipment/space to do all this work myself from scratch (I 've only modded an ESP Edwards Explorer that I got 6,5 years ago) though, but I 'm very excited with the progress so far. I 'll be glad to read any feedback

Sunday morning I 'm driving to Aberdeenshire to get this build. I 'll post my own pictures as soon as I can

That looks awesome.

How difficult is it to rout all the pickups wiring into the rear pocket? I’ve always thought the no-pickguard guitarbuild bodies looked cool but I’ve always worried the electronics would be a pain.
