New Project Day - Frankenstein

[muttznmongrelz]

Everybody Wants One! I know it's been done a million times... Had the neck up for sale for about 2 1/2 weeks with minimal interest and was checking out bodies when the KNE popped up. Already have most of the rest of the parts for it so I figured...why not?

2018 Coastal Customs Roasted Flame Maple Strat Neck: R3 1 11/16” Thru Neck Nut, 10” Fretboard Radius, 22 Jumbo 6100 Frets, Black Dot Inlays, Medium C Shaped Profile .84 at First Fret, .90 at the 12th Fret

2018 KNE Asuza 5 lb 12 oz Northern Ash Body

The rest: Vintage 80s Seymour Duncan Dual Fillister JBJ, Bourne 500k Volume with “Tone” Knob on the usual modded pickguard, Vintage 1985 Floyd Rose Chrome w/42mm BBB, Eye Bolt Strap Buttons

Still need to find a 1971 Quarter, Crusty 5 Way Selector & Input Jack, Neck Single Coil, etc. and I'm not sure I'll use the Coastal Customs Neck but if I do it'll get Chrome Hardware.

Wow, that neck seems too nice to put it on a striped body.

Re: New Project Day - Frankenstein

Yeah; I think it looks out of place with the body. I'm thinking I may use another neck on it. Got a Roasted Maple USACG that I may try.

Get someone to relic a few years into the neck and that would be a stellar guitar that likely out plays the one it was made to replicate.

USACG Roasted Maple Neck - definitely more of a proper look than the super flames one.

Re: New Project Day - Frankenstein

That's even better.

5.75 lb body? That's gonna make for one heavy strat

Yes Sir; I like ‘em like that. Just finished a Northern Ash Tele with a 6 lb 2oz two piece body.

Yep agree!! Have a neck here I need to find a home for in a Moses Graphite Strat head. Where was that flamed neck listed as missed that one??

Interesting switch placement. Not sure that would work for me... :33:

That first neck is gorgeous but I too think it doesn't suit the body too well. Second neck is a better match.

Isn't that just uninstalled parts placed together pre-mockup? Bridge pup isnt bolted in either, the floyd is just sitting there, and there doesn't appear to be any input jack???

I would hope not; you don't really need one on a guitar.

Had the bare CC Neck listed on eBay, Reverb, FB Marketplace and CL. $275 plus shipping on eBay/Reverb due to fees and $250 on FB and CL. Probably going to be relisting it over the weekend.
