Hi all, newbie here.

I'm building myself a Strat and so far have the body, pickups, neck plate and two knobs. It's going to be a bit different, with individual volume and killswitch for each pickup, in an HSH config (technically HSSS), a short scale neck and hard tail.

So the parts I need are as follows:
One volume knob, three volume pots, output jack and housing, hard tail bridge (adjust-o-matic or synchro style), three on/off switches, pickguard to accomodate all this and short scale neck from a Jag, Jazzmaster or maybe not even Fender, I just prefer the shorter necks.

Anybody with these parts get in touch, leave a reply, PM or e-mail to the_alternative_party@hotmail.com with what you have, or if you're interested in how it sounds and want to keep track of the project.

Thanks,
TGPlayer.

dude i suggest you get a squier jagmaster short scale conversion neck if you have the bridge routed on the body cause that neck will make any normal scale guitar into a short scale guitar... bridge routing makes a diference and a strat body is normally routed for normal 25.5" scale necks...

Ah cool thanks dude, i'll give it a go.

And yeah it's an experimental thing so maybe the short scale would be nice, i mean it doesn't have to be perfect first time, but i am aware of the concerns and the different size bodies and necks and that, i'll give that conversion a look though.

Cheers.
