What ever i have in my parts box. think i got a hotrail and a bkb sinner to go in it.

25.5 standard fender scale.

Needs more frets

Thats enough out of you Dora. I have a 37 fret to make and a 27 fret then i am calling it quits on the extended range stuff and i will be making some modest strat type instruments.

Cool bro no rush, it will be awhile before i get to test it anyway. '


yeah it will be good to get this guitar done. It being my first build i am a tad concerned about some of the glue joints. Mostly the fretboard. Nothing i cant fix anyway if it doesn't hold.
