If you can't find exactly what you're looking for, there are alternatives.

You can shop online for the perfect parts and build yer own ya know...

 

That's what I did with both of these.

The toughest part was cutting the custom pickguards to hold the components.

 

Going for that seventies vibe...

Home-made Strats, all American parts.

Highway One necks, Fender/Schaller locking tuners, Fender trem, Gibson pots/switches.

 

Ash body, Fender Dove P-90's.

Mine is a cheapo Squire I got at a pawn shop. Stripped the electronics and made it an HSS with real fender parts. Sounds good now[flapper]

What model do you own?

 

Eric Clapton and Bonamassa vids are giving me strat GAS.

 

Pics are welcome [smile]

I have an SRV strat which is a first run - serial number in the 900s and this one has the Brazillian rosewood fret board.

This other is a home-brewed strat.

Body, neck, and misc parts: Stew Mac

Pups: Neck is from a silver anniversary strat (1979), Middle '72 strat, Bridge is a Seymour Lil '59

The bridge is from that '72 strat

Here's the current Strat collection, every guitar player should own a few.

White basswood hardtail 50's RI with Clapton electronics.

 

1960 alder three-tone 'burst, this is a REAL one, NOT a reissue.

 

Fender Custom Shop, built to order, '54 RI ash two-tone sunburst, gold hardware, with Clapton electronics. The guy at the custom shop that built this guitar for me also built David Gilmore's red one.

 

 

The white hardtail had a twin sister in sunburst which I sold to the other guitar player in my blues band, and I had a '57 RI in two-tone sunburst which I sold when the Custom Shop '54 came in.
