WTD: Partscaster Parts, Neck, Body, Hardware, Plastics, etc...

Rox

I'm starting a new Partscaster project:

http://thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/98276/decided-on-a-partscaster-project

So looking for everything as I'm starting from scratch!

Large headstock rosewood boarded neck
Strat Body ready to be stained
Black plastics
Gold hardware (tuners, bridge, knobs, etc)
Electrics (which is the last priority I guess)

I've got plenty of things to trade for parts, including:

Epi Dot 335 PRO, Washburn WI66PROE, Sterling By Musicman Sub Ray 4 Bass in Honey burst, OLP Musicman Silhouette Burgundy, VOX original blue cloth AD60, Vester Bass Maple Neck (no tuners or nut), various Metal pedals, rock on. 

Rox

Some funds may be available depending on what's out there, so what do you have knocking around, FBers?

Rox

Ooh, tough crowd.  I'll be more specific about what I need...  I am fine with worn looking hardware, etc.

Neck - sourced a neck, so okay with that at moment.

Gold Boat Jack, tarnished and worn is fine.

Strat Trem system:  I already have the claw and springs, but would prefer gold saddles.

I'm okay with either the vintage or more modern styles of saddle, fine with the rest - ie the plate being nickel or chrome.  Steel block preferred or I'll get a block separately.  Therefore I'm fine getting all these bits from different people.

If I get the block separate, I'll get the arm with it.

Black Scratchplate - S S S is always my favourite, B/W/B preferred.  Again, fine with this looking worn.

Wiring and Pickups - S S S, obvs.    At this stage, I'm fine with something just to install for testing, and replace later with better quality gubbins.

Body - still on the lookout for a strat body if there's anything around...

I'd rather keep the funds in the FB community, so what's out there? 

I still have plenty of stuff to trade too.

I have a spare test body that I could sell you mate. It needs stripped of its nitro though. 

Swamp ash body, I believe it's HSH... weighs about 1.8kg

Rox

@lonestar - sounds promising, tell me more.

It's a guitarbuild body that was ordered last year. It was used for light testing but I believe it was given a coat of primer then colour coat. Both nitro.

I think I also have a strat body SSS that has had a coat of surf green then black over the top. Again it's just a test body. This one might be easier stripped of its nitro. £40 delivered would be good with me as I don't need it, I can use the other one as a tester 

Rox

Do you have pics of them @lonestar ?  Hopefully one of them will be suitable

GoldenEraGuitars

I can get you a few in the morning mate. If you're okay to sand one down you'll have a nice ash body under there

pm me your mobile number and I'll send you a few pictures tomorrow

Of course mate. I should add that these bodies look ridiculous right now but they would still be fine once sanded down. I think I have a 3rd body but it's probably dinged so it may not be suitable. Pm me your mobile number and or email and I'll send the pics over soon.

I have a set of alnico v Duncan Designed single coils which actually fare pretty well,  white covers and in excellent condition, say £22 delivered? 

Sarge

And maybe still have some new gold saddles I'd chuck in. 

Rox

Thanks @Sarge unfortunately some cheeky scamp has wiped out my funds by flashing strat bodies at me...

Blame @lonestar

If I get any more funds sharpish, I'll definitely be interested.  Unless I have any bits and bobs to trade you'd be interested in...

Well... it would appear @Rox will have his hands busy with the bodies in question!

That leaves everyone else with the option of a lovely nitro lacquered body finished to spec by me Unfortunately I'm all tapped out of test bodies 

Sarge

Not really after anything just now, arthritis is playing havoc with my guitar time recently. 
Looking to offload stuff I've stopped using mainly.

Greedy sod, isn't he?

Rox

@dchwhite - I don't have a problem, honest!

But the drawback to starting a project is that you end up seeing other guitars and want to build them too...  

I'm really looking forward to getting started!

Rox

@Sarge - sorry to hear about the arthritis

Hi there, I have a Fender TBX tone boost pot if you're interested? They are normally wired for the bridge and Fender originally installed them on the Strat Plus series from '87 to '96. 

I'm happy to send it to you for free. I had built my own Strat Plus replica before finally getting my dream Strat Plus Deluxe last year. I find they really give the guitar more of a rounded tone to the bridge position.
