Commandée vendredi, livrée lundi matin ! 📦😲

Je ne sais pas si le marché de la musique tourne au ralenti, mais j'ai reçu mon nouveau Kit Guitare type Strat en un temps record. Du jamais vu pour une livraison standard.

C'est peut-être le moment idéal pour lancer vos projets de lutherie avant que ça reparte !

J'ai sorti la caméra pour l'inspection du bois et le verdict est en ligne ⤵️

Hab’ endlich neue Saiten auf meine Strat gezogen und mal wieder über 2h am Stück #BoldAsLove geübt. Wundervoll!

Aahh, warum mach ich das so selten… 😢?
Dieses verkackte Erwachsensein…

The final result of my #diy #guitarbuilding adventure. She looks cool and plays like a dream.

Back in November we were staying at our son's, dog-sitting, while they were on #holiday. I took a #guitar with me, my #Fender #Sonoran #Thinline. It's not a guitar with a great reputation and was deleted from their catalogue within a couple of years. Perhaps one of the reasons for that were the #cheap #Chinese tuners.

I was placing the guitar in its case and allowed the neck to fall the final six inches. Unfortunately, it was slightly out of line and a tuner hit the side of the case. The plastic button did not survive.

I was amazed to find there's no such thing as a standard #Stratocaster neck. Tuners are sold in sets of six and I found sets that had the separation between first and sixth string of 117mm 119mm and 120mm and, I dare say, there were others available.

My guitar turned out to need a 119mm set. I opted for a metal replacement button. I only learned afterwards that I hadn't fitted the string in the way intended with a slot headed tuner.

My girlfriend got me a #HarleyBenton #diy #guitar kit for Christmas so I decided to build a #partscaster I'd be excited about.
photo 1: The assembled guitar. The main upgrades are a bridge with vintage bent saddles and a big brass tremolo block, vintage split-shaft tuners and The Revival RPS6 #JimiHendrix style pickups. The knobs and everything were white, but I prefer cream on a white pickguard.
I started working on the neck, cutting the headstock to size and properly tapping in the frets, but I have not finished it yet.
photo 2: I wanted to stain the body seafoam green, but it was already grounded and the stuff penetrated deep into the body, leaving some marks where the stain would not catch on, even after a lot of sanding. I decided to embrace the imperfections and sand down the paint to show more of the bare wood.
photo 3 & 4: The body is fully oiled up and is currently curing. I'm happy with the result so far. I will finish it with Renaissance wax in a couple of days
I will post more pictures once the guitar is finished.

Meine 30 Jahre alte Squier Strat, die sich die letzten 25 Jahre im Schönheitsschlaf befunden hat, wurde in den letzten Wochen generalüberholt:

Vorletztes Kapitel: Elektronik
Heute sind die neuen pickups gekommen 🥳 und direkt verbaut worden. Dazu hat sich auch der C-Switch gesellt, der jetzt das mittlere Tonpoti ersetzt. Den sog. "Blender-Mod", der der Strat noch zwei weitere PU-Kombinationen spendiert, habe ich als kleinen toggle switch verbaut.
Die Gelegenheit habe ich auch genutzt, um pickup Fräsung und Schlagbrett mit Alufolie abzuschirmen.
Was jetzt noch fehlt, sind die neuen Stimmmechaniken, aber die befinden sich wahrscheinlich noch irgendwo im Schneesturm. ☃️

The kids got me some Lego sets. When I was a kid we just had a big bucket of bricks. Some came from sets, but they were nothing like the sets today. As cool as the Strat is in this set, the amp is amazing in its detail down to the correct number of tubes. They even included the spring reverb. #Lego #Fender #Stratocaster #Guitar #FenderAmp
