i ended up going with a set of ernie ball "skinny top heavy bottom"
a little bit heavier than i thought they'd be, but it hasnt turned out to be too bad so far.

Hey,

I haven't been around in a while, last time i was here I was asking questions about the neck on my strat copy and my plans to rebuild that guitar. quick update and then i'll get on to my question. basically i've got the body of the guitar stripped and ready for a finish...just gotta decide on ...

its definitely not as bad as i first thought. its not a severe twist really. looking down the neck now that ive removed the nut from it it looks straighter, i dunno if the nut was cut wrong or something, but it was like an optical illusion or something. looking down the neck towards the headstock it ...

well i got the guitar apart today, the body doesnt look like its made of mdf, it looks like there are several plies of some material...the final finish almost looks like a plastic coating of some sort... will have to see what it is when i get to that point... heres a few more pics showing the ...

right on, i was hoping that i could just use strat parts (wasnt sure if there were different sizes or what not. any idea what the body is made of?

im hoping to end up with a guitar that sounds half decent for bluesy and clean sounds. my other guitar with two humbuckers is great for the heavier ...
