Complete construction of a Partscaster using a 1989 body, new hardware electronics & pickups. The body was originally purchased in 1989 by the customer and has had various spray and refinishing work already done, so its staying as a bit of a road worn / relic. The finished guitar is to be used for gigging in a event band and will need to be versatile to many types of music, so we went for a HSS configuration with bespoke wiring and controls as requested by the customer with our guidance.
Breakdown of project:
Complete clean up of body and paint with shield paint in the swimming pool area.
2002/3 neck acquired from AxeKool which we re-fretted with fender vintage style fret wire and repaired the rosewood fretboard.
Frets Levelled, Crown and Polish.
Fender Locking Machine Heads.
Bare Knuckle Irish Tour Neck & Middle Pickups.
Bare Knuckle Crawler Humbucker for the Bridge Pickup.
Fender Neck plate.
AxeKool bespoke Vintage Wiring Harness with separate coil splitting switch.
Custom Black Pickguard.
Ernie Ball 10’s Strings.
Full Setup etc
The Stratocaster plays and sounds amazing and will be a real work horse in a local band!
