FS: Strat Alder Body

What's Hot
ZoolooterZoolooter Frets: 861
edited August 2020 in Parts £
Radioshop ID bridge PU - special order 6.8k A5 flat stagger with baseplate - I asked them to make it sound close to a tele bridge which it does very well - £70  £65  £55 SOLD

Lightweight 1.6 kg two piece alder Strat body 42mm thick (not standard 44mm) It's been oiled and waxed, I also made the contours deeper.  £50 inc del 

edit: the body has a few small dings here and there, it obviously has an aged appearance, so it would suit a relic/aged project.

Vintage Charvel soild brass strap buttons £10 inc del

Aged cream/light mint pick guard, aged knobs and  loom by Bloodstone with MV, MT and blend for neck and bridge together. CTS, Oak, etc - £60 £55 inc del  SOLD

I have a MIM Robert Cray RW sig 9.5 neck that I reshaped into a soft V (from a chunky C). The reshaping isn’t perfect as there is a bit of a flat spot at apex of the V, nothing harsh. It’s extremely comfortable and measures .86 .95. 
Stripped all the thick ploy off and refinished it with aged nitro and pre CBS decals. Also, had a fret level and polish 2 months ago from the brilliant guys at KGB guitars Liverpool. Neck £100 Inc del SOLD

Tuners - Gotoh vintage aged nickle £30 SOLD

Wudtone vintage 56.3 mm mount bridge with 52mm string spacing. Highwood nickel saddles, and Kev hurley block and trem arm. The block is a 2mm shorter to fit a 42mm Strat body. £70 SOLD

    No chance of shipping the alder body?

    Yes, if you want to add another £20 to the price. I'll need to buy bubble wrap, box, etc.

    Any idea who made the body and any chance of a more competitive price on shipping? Cheers!

    @ I bought the body brand new from eBay, not sure who actually made it. Not sure what you mean regarding competitive shipping price.

    :+1: shipping - well even using extortionate RM Special Delivery is £11, but signed for 2nd class would be completely sufficient including £50 insurance for £6.20 (medium sized parcel) £4.10 (small parcel which is very close to maximum strat body dimensions) .. for the strat body on its own, shouldn’t need excessive packing as it’s a robust piece of alder :wink:

    Ah, apologies Zoolooter I was clearly out of date and going by the earlier comment!

    I’ll take it assuming the 1.6kg is accurate! pm me?

    @Marshall Great. I’ll put it on the scales When I get back tonight and take a pic for you. Originally i was just asking £30 as it was collection only so the price was low as there wouldn’t be many people out there willing to collect. It’s actually worth a bit more than that hence the price increase as I’m now offering posting. Cheers
