Shaving the heel and lower cut of a Standard Strat?

Re: Shaving the heel and lower cut of a Standard Strat?

Mine's righty, but yeah . . . Godin made lefties too.


The heel joint on that guitar is the best I've played for upper fret access. If I could get that heel joint and on a body without a lower horn with my Charvel neck I'd be really happy.

Definitely lefty on the pic, but yeah I also love the heel of my Godin Exit 22, maybe also because of the 24.75" scale length. Should have bought that Godin years ago it would have saved me a lot of money finding my #1. Will probably shop for a 2nd one.

You want mine? I'm moving away from hard tail and short scale guitars. Maple/maple board, stock pickups. Was planning on listing on craigslist soon.


Oh, where do you live?

Had to do some digging, but I did this.

Can't say it is a large change over the normal heel, but not sorry I tried it.

Might be interested but I have first to solve my MIM Fender Strat and my LTD ST-213 (strat copy). I'm waiting for a set of Rose Robusta/Butt Beauty for my MIM Strat and I have to install my STK-S4n/STK-S7b in the LTD. If it's working I'm done with guitars for the rest of my life as I will have all my bases covered. If not I will get ride of those 2 Strats, buy your Godin Exit 22, put my STK-S4n and my Screamin Demon in the bridge (or a better humbucker pickup for that guitar), and be done with guitars for the rest of my life.

No worries, hit me up if you're interested at some point in the future.
