Made from some bits provided by Bug: an old art box, parts from a cheap Strat copy and 2 rather nice vintage pickups. I was going to relic it but it'll probably relic itself in time.

Thanks Bug and Steve. I find Strat-type necks OK because they just screw onto a flat plank. After a nightmare getting the action right on my first Strat-necked 6-stringer, I tool a lot of time getting the level of the bridge right on this one. The action's a bit high, but playable enough. If I wanted it lower, I could easily chuck a 2mm shim under the neck.
