The parts: - Fender Pickguard - Fender Knobs - Fender Vintage Noiseless Pick-ups - Fender Super 5-Way Switch Pick ups: Knobs & Switch On to the build! Pick-ups mounted Potentiometer mounted Switch mounted Pick-ups soldered 5-Way switch soldered To-Do List: Finish Soldering Potentiometers Install and Solder Output Jack Install Pickguard Assembly String Guitar
Thanks! Oops, I probably should explain what a Stratocaster is. A Stratocaster is a specific electric guitar made by Fender. What I'm doing is replacing all the guts from the old knock off guitar with better authentic parts.
Thanks. I'm a huge Eric Clapton fan. This guitar is my attempt at mimicking the special edition Eric Clapton Stratocaster.
It's on hold, have lots of parts to buy. Waiting to see what I can pick up on Black Friday. Thanks! I'm just starting to learn how to play as well. Update time! Output jack finally came in. One small problem, it didn't come with a 2nd nut so it didn't fit quite right. Quick trip to the Home Depot for a washer Installed Much better! It's all soldered up! Had to move the 3 ground wires for the pick-ups to the top side of the potentiometer, it was bumping into the body of the guitar when I tried to test fit it. Here she is. There's a small humming issue, I think it's probably because of a bad solder joint. Gonna try and take care of it tomorrow and hopefully post up some clips of it.
