thats the savings gone then...








With the advent of the awesome Iroko bodied Schecter body purchase, I started looking around for parts for a craic..
At the moment the guitars are all getting chopped and changed...with the white olympic coming any day and the ivory reliced fatboy gear stripped to put on the 3,15 body , the next to be moved would be the slider 59 SRV pups and the SRV signature fender neck. I'm going "all-in" with the Olympic and the Eric Johnson body will have to be put aside for just now.

Whilst browsing I mananged to pick up a Schecter era neck that requires a nut and frets, but will do the job.Whilst looking at the neck and the original Schecters,I realised that Brass was a main ingredient to the sound.To my delight and surprise I found an original Fender Brassman series vintage tremelo block.That,together with a brass nut in the Schecter should make an interesting sound.Add to that to gold shaller tuners complete that will drop straight into the neck..this will be an interesting project for sure!

Apparently Fender pickguards fit straight onto the body, but by all accounts its a 57style due to the amount of screws..Have to look around a bit more.
