Here is a custom-built Partscaster style guitar in a Natural Purple Stain finish. Body is Solid Poplar. Custom setup with low action and great playability. These guitars are done by me. I’ve been playing professionally for over 25 years. These guitars are an excellent platform to build upon or play as is. Any questions, please feel free to ask. All items must be paid promptly.

I built this guitar myself years ago. I used a (Mexican) Strat body as a base for the build. The guitar has been well taken care of. It’s not perfect and has little nicks or wear, but it has no buckle rash and the Burgundy finish looks awesome and in the sun you can see the grain of the body. Here is a list of what I used for the build / set it up. Neck: Custom Wide Neck Canadian Hard Maple (Left Handed), Set up with reverse headstock. 21 Fret with Black Cross Inlay. I can not remember the radius, but it feels like a 50’s Gibson Baseball Bat Neck. I replaced the black pick guard with an American Deluxe Strat Aged (Cream) Pearloid Pick Guard. Makes the body pop with the tinted neck. (5) way selector and (3) vol / tone knobs. Doesn’t have the whammy bar, but has the whammy in the body (3) Springs. Comes with a white body plate. Overall this is a fun guitar and unique looking. Pots may need some cleaning sense it has sat in a closet for a long time. Does NOT come with a case.. You will have to re-tune yourself.

The guitar is in excellent shape and plays very nice. There is ZERO fret wear on the neck. Because the body is paulownia, the guitar itself is very light. The intonation is perfect and did not require a string tree. The guitar comes with an aftermarket hardshell case as pictured. It also comes with a strap and Fender strap locks installed. The parts are as follows. NECK: Player Series Stratocaster Neck, 22 Medium Jumbo Frets, Maple, 9.5″, Modern “C MIM. BODY: Paulownia AE Guitars brand. PICKUPS: SEE BOTTOM OF PAGE. STRAP BUTTONS: Fender branded strap locks. TUNERS: Fender American Standard non-locking. BRIDGE/TREMOLO: Fender American Standard. NECKPLATE: Fender American Standard. INPUT JACK: Upgraded PureTone jack and fender american standard jack plate. STRINGS: Elixer PolyWeb 10s. CASE: Aftermarket hardshell case. About the pickups and wiring. 1 Set Guitar Madness 62 Z’s Vintage Voiced Alnico 5 Pickups. 1 3-Ply Black B/W/B Copper Shielded SSS Pickguard. 1 Oak Grigsby 5-Way Switch. 1 Mini Toggle Switch (short arm). 3 CTS 250K Potentiometers (Stew Mac branded Pots are better quality and have better specs than a normal CTS Pot). 1 Treble Bleed Orange Drop. 001uf Capacitor W/150Kohm Resister. 3 Aged WhitePickup Covers. 3 Aged White Knobs. 1 Aged White Switch Knob. 7-Way Switching:The Pickguard is equipped with a Mini Toggle Switch. When the 5-Way Switch is in the Bridge Position the Neck and Bridge Pickups are Active. In the Middle/Bridge Position, All Pickups are Active. This is sometimes called the Gilmour Mod. Named after David Gilmour of Pink Floyd Fame. When the 5-Way Switch is in the Middle/Bridge Position, both Tone Pots are Active allowing you to blend the tone of the two Pots. And, because this has 7-Way Switching, there are even more blending options. A very nice option indeed! A Treble Bleed allows the highs to pass through the Volume pot as you roll off the Volume. What this does is keep the Brightness and the Clarity of the pickups the same as you roll down the volume. You have the same clarity and brightness at 10 as you would at 9,8,7,6 and so on. This is a super nice! Theseare excellent sounding Alnico 5 Pickups. They have a nice vintage output. Replicated to sound like the classic 60s single coils. Surf, Country, Blues, Vintage Rock and Rock are all in this Pickups wheelhouse. Please message me with any questions.
