I think i finally created the perfect guitar!!!!! I'm incredibly pleased with it.
The Body is from a 05 highway one, The Neck is from a 08 American standard, The Pickups are Fender 69 custom shop single coils, The bridge is a callaham vintage style tremolo, The tuners are locking schaller brushed steel I got for $72.99. Ummm thats it....No back plate, 5 springs in the tremolo and set up with 11 guage d'addario. Ill be posting a video tomorrow to show how it sounds!!!!!


Ive always wanted a custom strat body finished in satin!

very very nice and cool as hell to be able to put together the guitar that you want with the combination of parts that you want on it. I am planning on doing this one day to build me a true to me one off without having to go the whole custom shop big money route.

Awesome looking axe!!!!

I love the tuners... I have a thing for brushed steel tuners that they used to put on the plus series back in the day :D

Beautiful. I cringe when people post their custom guitars, as many are pretty hideous. Yours is great. Nice job. Perfect all around.

Thank God you replaces that wretched big H1 headstock with and American.

Beautifully done. This is the third ax someone put together on the forum in the last two months and all were fantastic jobs.
