qld maple strat

HI.



This is my ‘more than I could Chew’-o-caster.



It was almost called the ‘disastercaster’ because lots of things happened - from a loose router bit, a bendy drill bit, moving template , (and more) - but like someone said recently one just gets better at fixing things. Particularly with a high dollar top!! :o)



…and here it is !! looks like a strat – sounds like a strat - everyone’s happy.



The top is figured Qld Maple the body is Qld maple as well.



2 piece maple neck angled headstock & zero fret.



Water dye stained top. Everything finished in U-Beaut (hard) shellac.



Lawrence E45 (I think) pickups, Sperzel tuners,Wilkinson trem (using tremsetter)



Wiring is : volume with push/pull to straight to amp



2 tone controls which both work on all pickups.



One has min roll off for rock playing – with 2nd full on

The second a lot roll off for jazz type playing. (with 1^st full on)



But honestly , the most pleasing result is with both tones full on and just rolling off a wee bit of volume.



Thanks to Niki for her arty pics.



Thanks for looking,
