Partscaster Strat 2025 - French Polish, Allparts neck....

For your consideration.... a fantastic "Partscaster" Strat style guitar I assembled.

Neck is an Allparts slab, 7.25" radius. I installed some "clay" dots made from old poker chip material. They are already aging nicely. I finished it with French polish that I made up (Lac Beetle residue, Everclear, extra virgin olive oil.) It feels great. Bone nut, Gotoh "Kluson" style tuners.

I do not know who made the body. It is a nice alder body. Good looking. Again, French polish. The body is cut nicer than most. Horns aren't too fat like so many bodies made these days. Contours are like a good old real Pre CBS Strat and I handle a lot of those. For fun I've added those dowel holes. Some day it'll confuse a store....... Body isn't a feather but it's no anchor either. Guitar is just about 8 pounds. Neck position is routed for a humbucker so if that's your jam it's ready to go with a new pickguard.

I do not know who made the pickups. I love them. Plenty of chime and quack, all the stuff you need in a Strat. Neck and middle are from a set and have that RWRP hum cancellation when used together. Neck pickup is not from the same set and doesn't cancel with the middle. Something to know......

They are older pickups. Magnets are nice and tarnished.

Pots are all CTS, has the old school 60's shield plate (These are great and I don't know why they aren't standard equipment today....).

Kluson steel block, Fender saddles and bridge plate. Great sustain. Never skimp on hardware.

Cloth wire yadda yadda.

I was going for the ol' hippy Strat like I used to find in abundance back in the 80's an 90's. Stripped and shellac'ed. Think Terry Kath...... Or go watch that guy wail on the Youtube. This guitar kicks butt. Set up with D'Addario 10 gauge but it's screaming for me to go with 11's. I'll set it up to your needs. No case but maybe I can scare up a gig bag.

Yes it's a good pile of parts but I'll go so far as to say it's a lot more guitar than a Road Worn or some of the higher end "Strat" guitars I handle.

Local sale only. I want to know this is a great guitar for you.
