Hello all! Here's the progress of my super strat build:
https://ibb.co/album/gFpN2G?sort=date_desc&page=1Mr. 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:
- Roasted maple neck with ebony fretboard and 22x 6100 stainless steel frets.
- The radius is 10-16" compound and the neck profile matches the wide thin of my PRS SE Torero.
- Width at nut is 43mm and dual action truss rod.
- The guitar body is 3 piece alder.
- The hardware (bridge, tuners) is from Hipshot.
- Pickups to be installed: Seymour Duncan SH-10B Fullshred (bridge) and Tesla VR-3 (neck).
Next steps are:
- Collect the build shown in the pictures (obviously )
- Spray paint it with cans.
- 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
