Project guitar complete (mostly) - pics inside

[hippietim]

I've been working on a parts Strat for a while now. It started off as a hollow body Strat that I bought parts for. But it was an AllParts body and the neck pocket was too big - I tried four necks in it and every single neck I put in the pocket had about a heavy pick's worth of wiggle room side to side. Seeing as I had a nice rosewood neck and really nice hardware I just decided to get another body.

All I have to do is get out the soldering iron and wire the darn thing [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
