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!! )
…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 1st 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,

Not bad, I have a '95-'96 made in USA Strat that weighs 3.675kg. (8.1lbs)
I like the light weight, everybody who tries it comments on how light it is.Cliff.
