NGD – Custom Made Strat!
Had this amazing submission come in by one of our awesome readers that I definitely have to show off. Really good build here! I have to say, this is certainly a great alternative to a more expensive Fender Custom Shop piece.
Tell Us About Your New Guitar:
This guitar is a prototype project that I made aiming at creating a strat style guitar with basic looks and sounds of a 62-ish fender with a few modern features. Japanese 21 band rosewood fretboard neck and alder body with candy apple red finish from Hosowaka. The pickups in it are for the moment Dimarzio virtual vintage ‘54 neck and ‘54 bridge, but I’m probably replacing them with Lundgren pickups (http://www.lundgren.se/). Classic Kluson style Gotoh tuners together with Graph-tech saddle and two-point pivot Wilkinson tremolo provides classic look, nice sound and increased tuning stability, compared to the specifications of 60’s Fenders.Story:
My options to getting my dream guitar together seemed few. Either make it Fender custom shop, which was for economical and principal reasons was not a suitable option, or building it myself. By putting it together myself I was able to get all the parts that I wanted this guitar to feature. I am very happy with it, especially for being just a prototype.- Noak Westerberg
He sent us a great video of it as well!
