  • Parts-o-caster Deluxe!

    I recently acquired an old Jackson Strathead neck (gift from friend) with a maple board and Schaller tuning keys and got an idea to build a parts guitar. I have now that neck, a 59n and a 6 saddle tele bridge.

    I was thinking of getting Tele body, 2 push/pull pots, a SSL-1 RWRP pickup, and a tapped QP for Tele Lead. A pickguard too, of course. The push/pull pots will be used for tapping the QP and for doing 7 way switching. This axe will mostly be used for blues/rock.

    The pickup configuration will be 59n, Vintage Staggered mid, and QP lead.

    Am I missing anything? Anything you guys would change? What would you do differently?
    Ain't nothin' but a G thang, baby.

    What about strings

    Sounds like a cool setup and worth the while seeing your more then half way there on the parts.

      Just make sure the neck fits the body...anytime you do a parts guitar project, compatibility is of the highest importance. Tele and Start parts aren't always perfectly interchangeable, so you may want to look into that.

        I think Warmoth and US Custom Guitars can make you a Tele body capable of fitting a strat type neck.

          Yeah, either of those places can do that, but if you buy something pre-made, just be aware that it may not be a perfect fit.
