Made from some bits provided by Bug: an old art box, parts from a cheap Strat copy and 2 rather nice vintage pickups. I was going to relic it but it'll probably relic itself in time.

The neck was from a £5 eBay pickup
Prob china?
Think it said 1959 fender on under the pickups ,but I sanded it off
before I gave it to Diglydog ...lol

Thanks Bug and Steve.  I find Strat-type necks OK because they just screw onto a flat plank.  After a nightmare getting the action right on my first Strat-necked 6-stringer, I tool a lot of time getting the level of the bridge right on this one.  The action's a bit high, but playable enough.  If I wanted it lower, I could easily chuck a 2mm shim under the neck.

Thanks James - I think he's seen it so it's time with me is limited !  Just about finished setting up the action and intonation.
