Re: Fiesta Red MJT Stratocaster
Yeah it is more like 1.60" vs the typical 1.75". Of course I had already modified it by installing parts before I figured out it was thinner than it should be.....

As a random turn of events, the other body that came in arrived with a Wilkinson bridge with a shorter block that fits this and the full block fits the other body so I swapped and voila!

Nice save. When do we see it with a neck?

Re: Fiesta Red MJT Stratocaster
I have a recent issue wanting to do body work more than neck work…. I have five bodies that need necks currently…..
Long story short, hopefully next month for Christmas.
Standard rosewood strat neck with small headstock and worn looking stain/dye work to match the distressed body.

Re: Fiesta Red MJT Stratocaster
I love Fiesta Red Strats... and I don't like Strats. It looks so good – can't wait to see it come along!

A couple necks came in for two of my strats.

Not a Strat guy, but I’d take that for a spin around the block
Nice decal too!

Re: Fiesta Red MJT Stratocaster
Thanks so much! I wasn't a fan for a long time but they grew on me. Loads of sound options, light body, and comfortable to play.

Re: Fiesta Red MJT Stratocaster
All finished. Looks good. I can't play it until I finish moving my office. Pictures for now.
