Zerberus,Butnut Etc...Want Lite Ash Lefty Strat Body?

[STRATDELUXER97]

if any of you are familiar with Fender's new Lite Ash Strat,I'd like to know if I could buy the same body,but in a lefty?

It would consist of "swamp ash" with 6 holes for the vintage bridge,polyurethane finish(preserving the ash grain) and cut for the option of H/S/S if needed..otherwise the body would be cut just like a standard vintage 50s/60s body routing and contouring....Is this possible,to include the final sanding and finishing to the body? Price also....Thanks

John

HI JOHN, Have you tried contacting Musikrart ? I know there's no
Lefty bodies on there website. But I'm sure they can make one
for you ?? There a Custom shop,They have a CNC machine. I
can't see it being a problem for them? And they have that
sweet Ultra lite Ash Like the Fender in the pic.
Hope this helps

Thanks buddy....Funny,I Own a ton of guitars and not one of them is ash...I had an American Vintage Tele that was,but I sold it because it was too heavy and the neck was like a baseball bat and killed my wrist and forearm...I Like nice "C" shaped necks.. :burnout: Warmoth sells the bodies,as does my buddy Brian over and Universal Jems,but it needs to be sealed etc...The body raw from what I'm seeing is in the $200 range or a bit less...Thanks again..

John -

I picked up a sweet 2 piece ash body from Musikrart. $125 and it is super light, the quality it top notch for sure. The problem is getting it finished....it's actually not a problem, just more expensive than I thought. I would bet that JohnJohn could do a sweet clear finish on it for not too terribly much. Give him a holler.

If JohnJohn can do a nitro finish, we might be able to work him together. He's already doing me a pretty good favor on my strat neck, so I don't want to push my luck TOO hard! utahere:
