Well, actually pickups and machine heads have already been replaced, but anyway…

The experiment: we’ re gonna place a humbucking pickup almost in a central position on the top.

Today we are butchering an original CHINESE MADE Fender Strat.

Well, actually pickups and machine heads have already been replaced, but anyway…

My dear friend and customer French Scala ( http://www.myspace.com/frenchscala )

asked me to turn it into a custom-minimal-set-slide-guitar … !!!

The experiment: we’ re gonna place a humbucking pickup almost in a central position on the top.

We draw a new scratchplate with cad

and cut it :

 

A nice coat of shielding spray on the back of the brand new scratchplate.

We connect the pickup to the volume and tone controls.

We need more room on the body in order to place the new pickup and screw-lock everything!

That’ s it … 6 x 6 = 36 !!!

The customer we are going to make happy today is the lucky owner of a gorgeous white Mosrite guitar complete with black hardshell!

I was asked to prepare a custom pickguard and to replace the two pickups.
