25 dollar strat build with pics

captcoolaid · 11-07-2009, 12:53 PM

Well the rest of the stuff came in last night for my new/used/partsbin strat build. The body is a Squire plied body, and the rest of the stuff is barter and trade. Here are is what I have so far.

The pup is a WB UV20 it reads 22.4k

There will be a 5.8k single coil neck pickup going in it. Yes I have to cut the pickgaurd unless I get another but that will be easy enough.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm wonder what that could be.

Here is a mock up of what she will look like.

I also have some black Gotohs that will be going in to it. I am also debating on weather to put an EMG expander as the tone pot. There are 2 volumes 1 tone. The tone will only be hooked up to the neck pup. I have spent ruffly 25 bucks so far. But have to get some pots and a 3 way switch still.

I think I have a hum-sing-sing guard you can have. Single ply white, stock Squier Affinity in fact.

Edit: yeah, I do, it's yours if you want it.

You want to trade. Mine is a 3 ply but it is yours if you want.

Looks pretty cool, have fun with it! I'd put that EMG pot in there, you have it laying around & it'll juice up the tone.
