My Navigator need new frets...so I took it apart....

And did this for fun!
Now I am thinking about getting a maple neck for it instead, still going to keep the old rosewood board one and refret it, can be used on another old project of mine!
Used the neck from my classic vibe strat, as it is going to get the a new bridge anyways, have to plug a few holes and drill some new ones!

Nice setup. I keep thinking of getting a Wilkinson trem or other aftermarket bridge, but have kept the stock ones and use a tensioner spring under the trem bar.

By the way, what's the copper pedal in the lower right corner?

Thanks guys...
Love the Gotoh/Wilkinson VSVG vib...absurdly well made and functional.
Rather like the neck, wider at the nut too..
The org ESP neck is oldschool narrow, not uncomfy or anything....but the CV neck is more alike to my Beck strat and I really like that one

Will get a anodized pickguard for the thing as well, as both neck and pickguard will return to the CV once I have redrilled it to fit my Gotoh 510 vib on it!
Now I just have to dig up a nice maple neck for it!

Here is a clip of the thing.....and yeah that copper coloured pedal is a DC-Drive...think it is the only dirt pedal we make, that I use from time to time....
Use the DC drive at the end of the clip.

Do you use the kettle as an attenuator?

COOL!

I love the maple neck/gold guard on almost ANY solid colour Strat, it just looks great!

Thanks.
The neck while being a cheap thing sounds ok, now I'm on the hunt for a neck
Hehe it is no kettle, the air is dry here in the winter, so I have to bring up the humidity room, it is a non heating water duster of sorts.
