Title: As promised... Guitar Thread
Post by: fordguy_85 on July 26, 2017, 12:55:54 AM
Around January, I bought a custom "Swamp Ash" Stratocaster type guitar body routed to use a Telecaster bridge and pickup. After finishing it, I decided to attempt a 'from-scratch' build. I started out using a pine 2x8, but the body wasn't thick enough for the bridge I wanted to use. So I added a walnut cap to the top. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves, but feel free to ask any questions you may come up with, and I'll do my best to answer.

The neck is from a 2003 Highway One model USA Telecaster.
