Zerberus,Butnut Etc...Want Lite Ash Lefty Strat Body?

[STRATDELUXER97]

if any of you are familiar with Fender's new Lite Ash Strat,I'd like to know if I could buy the same body,but in a lefty?

It would consist of "swamp ash" with 6 holes for the vintage bridge,polyurethane finish(preserving the ash grain) and cut for the option of H/S/S if needed..otherwise the body would be cut just like a standard vintage 50s/60s body routing and contouring....Is this possible,to include the final sanding and finishing to the body? Price also....Thanks

John

HI JOHN, Have you tried contacting Musikrart ? I know there's no
Lefty bodies on there website. But I'm sure they can make one
for you ?? There a Custom shop,They have a CNC machine. I
can't see it being a problem for them? And they have that
sweet Ultra lite Ash Like the Fender in the pic.
Hope this helps

Thanks buddy....Funny,I Own a ton of guitars and not one of them is ash...I had an American Vintage Tele that was,but I sold it because it was too heavy and the neck was like a baseball bat and killed my wrist and forearm...I Like nice "C" shaped necks.. Warmoth sells the bodies,as does my buddy Brian over and Universal Jems,but it needs to be sealed etc...The body raw from what I'm seeing is in the $200 range or a bit less...Thanks again..

John -

I picked up a sweet 2 piece ash body from Musikrart. $125 and it is super light, the quality it top notch for sure. The problem is getting it finished....it's actually not a problem, just more expensive than I thought. I would bet that JohnJohn could do a sweet clear finish on it for not too terribly much. Give him a holler.

If JohnJohn can do a nitro finish, we might be able to work him together. He's already doing me a pretty good favor on my strat neck, so I don't want to push my luck TOO hard!

Fender's Lite Ash series shows polyurethane over the ash body...I'd like to copy the Lite Ash strat pretty much...I first need a nice light grainey ash body...I remember looking at and liking,yours..Could you send me the link please Jeff?
