My first guitar build! The nickname is "pumpkin" for now hahaha
Here's a mockup from photoshop:
Specs:
Neck is a quartersawn piece of canary with a pau ferro fingerboard from Warmoth. Compound 10"-16"in radius with huge stainless steel frets
Standard thin carve with cream dots
Since this is my first build I wanted a nice neck I wouldn't have to modify much to get working properly so most of the budget of this build went here ![Stick Out Tongue :p :p](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Everything else is from GFS to keep the final price down. Trans orange poplar strat body. 6-point trem (different from the picture) with a huge brass block. Black hardware and staggered gotoh-style locking tuners
The pickup is a dimarzio Tone Zone. Why green? Well...initially I was looking for a black one but then I saw a green one on ebay so I said "What the heck...it'll look like a pumpkin XD"
Future upgrade considerations
-will definitely put in a neck single coil at some point and add a tone control...just gotta save up some money and decide what kinda pup I want there first
-might upgrade the body in the future if I end up not liking the feel of it. I went with a budget body so I could practice putting something together and even if I mess up I won't be in tears.
