Mostly trying to figure out the best way to post here. Tried a direct upload of a photo yesterday, and it just ground to a halt.
Anyway!
This is a recent build I did, and I love it
- Warmoth neck
- Nomoonlaser body
- Bootstrap pickups
- Hipshot tuners
- all other hardware is fender. Though the pickguard is some random dude on ebay that thankfully fit perfectly

Beautiful! My dad, brother, and I built a stratocaster together in a day at this guitar shop in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. We wired everything by hand and had a guy teach us how to put it all together and set it up. I'll have to try and find a picture of it. My brother has the guitar at the moment.

Thanks! I’ve just been teaching myself how to do setups and mods and soldering and whatnot over the past few years, and that all culminated in this project.
Super fun. I want to build more now

Looks sharp! Building a guitar is still on my to do list. I love the simple palette you chose.

Nice! My eyes always love transparent finishes that show off a natural wood grain like that. Is it pine or ash or something else?

Usually I’m more of a fan of solid colors, but the classic butterscotch color on a Tele feels right, even if it’s a Jazzmaster shape.
And yeah, this is white pine. Super light, I love it

Nice. Pine was an underrated wood for a while but it’s coming into fashion now. Lighter ash replacement due to those stupid beetles.
Ironically usually I like transparent colors better, but my single coil Tele is solid. Maybe I’ll post a pic of it sometime.

You should!
