So I've got a guitar, this one; http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/reviews/ ... ood_lx90l/

I'm re building mine, and since it's a Strat copy, can I use the same parts of a strat?Eg. the bridge or the pickguard. Many thanks.

Japan made guitar ?

Wich Strat are you talking about for parts ?

There are so many Fender Stratocaster. Modern, Vintage , American made , Imports made.....

Most difficult is to have the right parts size . Some may fit well some not like Tuning machine

Impossible to say for certain. There are so many Strat copies with minor (or major) variations in spec, you really can't be sure Fender hardware will fit with another guitar's body cutouts, neck pocket, bridge holes, string spacing etc.

Plus if it's a plywood guitar then you're really throwing good money after bad by customising it. You'd be better off saving the cash for something that's at least made from solid wood. No amount of quality hardware or pickup upgrades will turn a plywood body into a good-sounding instrument.
