and so it begins.......

Well today was a good day :-)

I got hold of my doner body though the post finally . Very nice guitar actually a 1999 fender squire strat I reckon . I immediately took it apart as I have a new neck coming and removed the scratchplate . Next the scatchplate was drilled to fit the kill switch and filed , the the body started its routing . However I only got half way as my drill is cheap and ran out of juice :-( .....


I changed the cover on the pickups , more just to get an idea of how it will look in the end , and I had a bettwe look at the new scratchplate which is alot better than I had first feared and will actually be fine for this build.

In other news I'm still waiting for the new neck to arrive and now I have secured the Fender vintage noiseless pickups, a seymour duncan hotrail pickup for the bridge and a new black bridge which should opefully just drop in.

So as you can see , a busy and expensive day...
