I bought a maple Warmoth strat neck off eBay about a year ago. It was a superwide and I have since slimmed it down a bit and given it a fret dress etc. I now need a swamp ash body and should have bought a Warmoth one when the £ was in a better state.
So now I am wondering who makes decent strat bodies in the UK? I dont need it to be anything special, two piece Swamp ash , not too heavy, indeed not too light either, standard rout for vintage trem and 3 sc's. I like the contoured heel that Warmoth put on theirs but I can easily add this myself. No finishing required, I want to do a vintage off white thin nitro with aged mint pickguard look.
Any suggestions?

No idea on the finish out of the box of the gb body, but the shape etc.. looks fine, good fit with the neck too. The GSP fit and finish is amazing, he gave me the choice of body blanks that he had rough cut etc.. so that was a nice touch too

Anyhow, going off subject a little, forgive me but I couldn't resist reliving the build, it was terrific fun to do.

My Jazzmaster has a GSPBASSES body and whilst I never saw it before paint, its a wonderful, resonant body and a Fender neck fitted beautifully.
