    Nice.

    I see LOTS of incomplete builds and works in progress in this thread.

    And I demand updates, on ALL OF THEM! (hence the bump)



    Also, I will soon be getting some parts in which will go towards an HH pickguard for my '62RI strat. Not a huge deal, but I'm looking forward to it. I gotta route the cavities for the HH configuration. Should be a barrel of laughs seeing as I don't have a big beastly router at my disposal. But I do have forstner bits, chisels, a drill and a dremel, so I should be able to get the job done satisfactorily.

      I recently got an '03 Squier Affinity Strat for $85. The neck is trashed - it looks like someone dressed the frets with 80 grit sandpaper or a cheese grater. The pickups are Indonesian and sound like crap. HOWEVER, the body is alder and in great shape free from dings and major abrasions. It will become an HH with wiring which I am now figuring out over in the pickup lounge. Got one pickup in and the other one is due here this week. I have a new neck on order from Warmoth. After I figure out the wiring, I'll order a pickguard from Warmoth. All done, I'll post a finished picture and furnish the details of what is done with it. I am having trouble getting a picture of it uploaded. It looks like every black Strat out there with a white pickguard.

        I have an ash telecaster body routed for a single bridge filtertron, and a neck with a reverse Tele headstock which arrived last Friday. Started with the sealing but long way to go yet. Once I have completed it I shall post pictures, right now though it isn't too interesting!

          I have two necks ready. Both with really long truss rods.

                  There are some really nice axes in this thread, I hate to bring it down with my epic eyesore.... but I am nearly finished with this guy.
                  Jackson Reversed Neck Warrior (I call it the Blood Warrior) Action is smooth, sounds killer with this X2n, and loving the heck out of the Killswitch. Divebombs, stutters, and all around FUN!

                    I like Fender offset and Gibson offset. Why not mix them et voila ... Fireblaster.
                    That board is solid spruce. Enough to make 3 Fender solid body styles (next project).
