PARTS LIST
Body - MJT lightweight alder, Olympic White, super light relicking
Neck - Musikraft '62-64 spec neck : Brazilian rosewood slab on quarter sawn maple, aged clay dots, 42 mm nut-width, narrow 12th fret dot spacing, .83 - .92" C profile, semi-rolled edge, side dots on RW/maple joint, 6230 frets, vintage spec peghole size, 21 frets
Bridge - Crazy Parts vintage-correct 6 screw trem
Tuners - Gotoh 6 in line Kluson style tuners
Pickguard - Crazy Parts nylon '64 11-hole Mint Green
Knobs and Pup Covers - Crazy Parts nylon Aged White
Pups - David Allen Tru '62s or Fender '57/'62s
Pots - 60's CTS pots preassembled harness
Strap Buttons/Neck Plate/Jack Plate - Fender and Gotoh vintage correct
This all amounts to roughly $1200, which is a steal considering a Custom Shop strat of the same quality would be $4k or more.
I'm adept at level, crowing and dressing frets and properly setting up the guitar, so I'm not concerned about that.
I welcome any input, or alternative recommendations, as I know there a lot of knowledgeable people here!
I'm particularly unclear on which pickups are the closest to that '62 vintage tone.
