Been wanting to make my own custom guitar for quite a while. So I started watching for eBay for pieces here and there and finally got together what I needed for my project. I started with a black body from a 2001 Strat and followed the directions from Relic Deluxe to get the look I wanted. I found a CBS Style neck on eBay that looked like it could have some nice figuring to it. I sanded it down and refinished it with the help of the fine products from Guitar Reranch. I couldn’t be happier with the finish on the neck. It is super slick and the figuring in the wood comes out just right. I got a set of 70′s style decals and fit some new Fender tuners to it and the neck was ready to go. I really couldn’t decide which way to go with the pickups, but I finally went with a set of Neovin Noiseless pickups from GFS (http://www.guitarfetish.com). Picked up a new Fender 5-way switch and 3 CTS 250K pots, and a .047 Cap. I have never been a fine of the standard strat wiring so I choose to go with the bridge tone mod. I started with the second tone know controlling the middle and bridge pick ups but finally decided to go with tone on the bridge only (Google it you will find a ton of schematics).
