Wouldn't mind one of them myself. I've had a 513 previously, which was much the same, but different.

LoL for the switches. If you want a stratty PRS, get a swamp ash special.Molly wrote:Switches are a bit busy for me. Maybe it was for the Grateful Dead gig.Conway wrote:Super Eagle.
I'd like a C22 / 24 style PRS with Stratty pickup arrangement.

I guess it could be a rolling project where you get something that's got good bones and upgrade as you go. That said, when you say high-end I guess you'd need a nice, light and resonant body and a well finished neck.

If you buy all the bits, you can make a really high end strat for $1500.
How would it break-down do you think? Just roughly.
$100 - Tuners
$250 - Neck
$350 - Body
$200 - Trem
$300 - Pickups
$100 - Plastics
$100 - Case
$80 - Pots / wire etc.
$20 - Neck plate / screws
$100 - Paint
Warmoth 1 inch thick soft V birdseye maple dark rosewood traditional slabboard neck $450
Seymour Duncan SSL-1 California vintage pick ups $280
Crazy Parts from Germany 54-71 Strat hardware set ( big block pat pend trem, Kluson tuners, numbered neck plate etc....) $300
Plastics $100
CTS pots, CRL switch, clothe wiring, ali p/guard sheild, $100
Ok, that's $1630. I'd happily take $1500 for it!
Goes to show that minor ability with a screwdriver and a soldering iron can get big results!

Just watched the demo of that. Sounded great. Wonder why it has a different neck join.Conway wrote:509, Molly?

I don't think the headstock looks that out of place that much, I'm used to seeing it on strat-ish shaped guitars.

I don't mind that look, but that headstock/body shape combination basically makes it look like a Korean Schecter.

Oh man, I thought that was for real for a bit. Looks horrible.
