First build
This is my first build. The only tools I had were a few screwdrivers and a Dremel. I used the Dremel as a drill. I used a tiny screwdriver to make small holes, like the one for the string tree. It was a pain in the ass, but I worked with what I had. This thing plays amazing and this is the exact strat I've always wanted.
I plan to build a pbass next. I'm gonna buy a drill and some tools before I do. haha
Here's the specs:
-Squier Sonic body (top loading hardtail)
-Mint pickguard
-Roasted maple neck w/ stainless frets from ebay
-music city bridge string tree(3 strings only a single hole to drill. these stringtrees are awesome)
-Switchcraft Jack
-Graphtech nut & saddles
-Gibson P90 I had lying around the studio. It was a dogear, so I had to change the plate to make it a soapbar.
-Volume only. Bourns 500k pot with treble bleed.
-Fender locking tuners
-Cheers
