Strat body without usually drilled output jack

[natthu]

Is that an offset (JM sorta?) body just with a Strat configuration(ish)?

I'm not sure if I like it yet. I'm very interested to see what it looks like finished (I haven't seen this Fender 66 that was mentioned - maybe I should look it up).

Rosser makes several things that seem close, and I bet he'd make exactly what you want. He seems to be selling via his ebay shop these days.

It is basically a strat made from a jazz bass body shape.

Yeah, it's funny how a little thing like the output jack changes the whole aesthetics of a guitar (in my eyes)



btw: these early 80's Elite models are damn rare and expensive :/

I love these little pickup switch-knobs! Finally a Strat player could activate the bridge and neck pickup at the same time like on a Tele

Sorry for massive posting

I'd love to put a floating JM tremolo on it!!!

Bridge is bigger, and pickguard's lower left horn is longer too, it's not just removing the jack plate.

How do you come to this conclusion??

I like the pickup switching on the Elite.

He means the end of the pickguard near the jack is longer. It’s not the same pickguard shape.

Regular pickguard on an '83 'Standard: '

Here is what I'm working on. Three knobs for a G&L PTB circuit plus a face mounted jack hole. I've also altered the shape of the Strat body a bit.

Nevermind the six low E strings.

Very interesting how the body differs from the "standard" Strat

...

Yeah! Looks gorgeous. It reminds me of the G&L Fullerton Deluxe Skyhawk:

My first strat style guitar I moved the jack to the pickguard. I can't remember what I filled the hole with. I did a hack job no doubt.

Also I like the volume knob further fom the strings on the Elite.

Amen to that!!!!

Did you put a pickguard-like cover on the drilled hole??

[JSutter]

I think I filled it in and painted it.
