Ok here goes i recently purchased a 3 tone Squire standard Agathis Body and a 1999 Fender American Standard Neck and a set of SCN p/ups and the Eric Clapton mid-boost and was wondering if all these will go together or can i use just the SCN p/ups without the boost an will the USA neck bolt right onto the Squire body ??? any suggestions ??? Thanks sincerly from a Lefty Musician

I never had a squire strat but if the hole pattern is the same there should be no problem... also the boost can go with any pup I suppose... its just a matter of soldering everything together... there should be no problem I guess :)

You should be able to bolt the neck on. The holes should line up. I had a problem where my neck bolted to the body of my old Squire. Was wondering if you might be able to find a Fender body to use instead of the Squire? I guess the wood was weak where the neck bolted on to on mine. Hope you do not crack the neck/body like I did mine after a year. I have no advise for the pickups other than try to find wiring diagrams. Post pics when you are done, love to see it. [/url]

I've bolted an aftermarket strat neck to a squier before, it worked. pickups will definatly work just find a wiring diagram for what you want.

i hope that the Agathis Body is better than those plywood types and i only paid 80.00 bux for a loaded squire standard strat body but i did end up paying 325.00 bux for a mint 1999 American Standard Neck "Lefty" , i just dont know anything about Agathis wood , as soon as i finish i will post some pics , it should look like a American Standard and hopefully sound like an American Deluxe :)

How is your project coming out?

I am just a little curious.

I had excellent results using the Clapton Boost with SCN pickups in my 50th Anniversary Strat.

So Far so Good i was going to use a 2006 MIM body but i changed my mind and turned that into a Genuine Fender American Standard Using Vintage 68 reissue pickups and pots and switch and even the "F" logo neckplate , LOOKS LIKE A HENDRIX STRAT if only JIMI was alive to see my Lefty Creation :) Now i am waiting for my solid Agathis Body 3 tone sunburst to use my SCN pickups and electronics to make my very own affordable Deluxe Stratocaster .... how do i add pictures of hand built 68 re-issue on here ??? Thanks for all the advice also and as soon as i finish my hand built Deluxe i will take pics to add on here too :) [/code]
