Re: Starcaster Style Project
Wetsanded the body. Looks pretty good. Then I sanded the neck pocket to get the Allparts neck to fit.

Then I taped around the tremolo so I could mark the screw holes.

Next I went to getting toggle, pots, jack plate, and strap buttons on. I got the neck pickup placed but not drilled. I need two more screws for the bridge humbucker still. Good progress for an evening.

Re: Starcaster Style Project
Thanks! Got the bridge pickup on the body tonight and wetsanded the headstock. Also put the tuner bushings on and found out the klusons I have aren't vintage style so they don't fit. I ordered a new set and then I installed the nut.

Just need to get that neck bolted on so we can see it in all it's glory!

Re: Starcaster Style Project
I need the tuners to get the neck mounted so I can string the high and low E to make sure it gets drilled center.

Re: Starcaster Style Project
Thanks! I got the tuners installed and the pickup rings mounted. The knobs might not be the right size. They are Allparts push on, but I am thinking they might be import size.

Re: Starcaster Style Project
Maybe you can look in this direction:
Color of the knobs will match the fretboard.. ... or if you prefer black knobs:
?
HERE is the link with more choices.
That guitar looks stunningly beautiful!!! Hats off!
