Good quality, needs some prep
Overall a solid body. The routing for the pickups was accurate. I had to do a little extra sanding around the neck pocket to get a perfect fit, but that is normal for unfinished parts.

Great resonance
I was worried about the tone since it's basswood, but this piece rings beautifully. It took my nitrocellulose finish very well. Highly recommend for anyone building a vintage-style strat.

Exactly as described
Arrived well-packaged with no shipping damage. The contours are smooth and comfortable. It's a great starting point for a first-time luthier project.

Solid choice for replacement
Replaced a damaged body on an old project guitar. The dimensions matched standard hardware perfectly. Took off one star because there was a small glue mark on the back, but it sanded out easily.

Perfect blank for a custom build
The basswood is lightweight and the grain is very consistent. No cracks or knots that would compromise structural integrity. Sanding it down was a breeze before applying my stain.

Excellent value
For the price, you cannot beat the quality of this handmade body. The wood feels dense enough to sustain notes well but light enough for long playing sessions.
Q: Can I use this for a left-handed guitar build?
A: Yes, the body shape is symmetrical enough that it can be used for left-handed builds by mirroring the control cavity routing or drilling new holes as needed.
Q: What is the exact thickness of the body?
A: The body thickness is approximately 44mm (1.73 inches), which is standard for ST-style electric guitars.
Q: Will a standard Fender pickguard fit this body?
A: Generally yes, as it follows standard ST01 dimensions, but minor adjustments may be required depending on the specific manufacturer of the pickguard.
Q: Is the wood kiln-dried?
A: Yes, all our basswood bodies are made from kiln-dried lumber to ensure stability and prevent warping after finishing.
Q: Does this body come with pre-installed strap buttons?
A: No, this is an unfinished raw body and does not include any hardware such as strap buttons, bridge, or pickguards.
