For sale today is a very cool parts Stratocaster with a genuine Fender maple neck. The neck is maple and is from the Fender Mexico factory. The relic'd body is from MJT and is alder. The neck is a Modern-C Vintera from 2022 with the truss rod adjust at the base, 21 frets, an amber tinted clear finish, and almost no fret wear. The alder body fits this neck like a glove and provides a very balanced playing experience. The pickups that were added to this build are fake Suhr pickups (polarity all same/ceramic magnets). Because of the polarity, the 2 & 4 positions on the 5-way switch are not hum cancelling.
The guitar is in great physical shape with every blemish being intentional for aesthetic purposes. The neck is in great shape with only two small impressions that do not go through the clear coat. These two are right behind the 5th fret and are smaller than a grain of rice. Otherwise from headstock to heel this neck is clean and was well taken care of. It features vintage style tuners and a single string-tree. The bridge is down flat to the body with the current setup but it can be set up to float easily. It's got a nice solid bridge block and Kluson saddles. It's got a mint pickguard that really compliments the Dakota red finish. The weight on this is 7 lbs. 12 oz.
The guitar plays great and the fretboard features a 9.5" radius. The action is nice and low with minimal buzzing (no more than a usual Strat with a 9.5" radius). Nowhere do your notes fret-out and the neck is nice and straight. The strings don't stray too close to the edge of the fretboard either so you won't have that teetering on the low and high E. It's a great looking Strat with an equally awesome feel and sound. It will be packed and shipped with utmost care.
