Just got this body from a seller on reverb.com
weighs 3lbs 10 oz light swamp ash
Seller said it has USA bridge and neck (Parts-O-Caster) when he got it.
Looks to be one piece too 8)

Obviously an aftermarket and well aged body
I'm hunting up some classic 60's parts (proper spacing)

Here is the direction I'm going , Nice rosewood board neck maybe ???

A 2 tone sunburst body would nicely fit with a maple neck.

Just my 2 cents here. :D

Now that is a sweet looking body! Boy that is not something I ever expected to say on this board! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I think a nice vintage maple neck...thinking 50's style with a nice V neck!

I know guys, however I already have this .................

Image

my 2004 50th so.............................
This new project is drilled for USA Vintage specs so..... I need to get myself a USA tremolo and nut or something from the classic series (mim) to keep from having to plug and redrill the body.
This will be a slow process and may take months to complete, I really believe its going to be worth it !!!
