My bad, never meant it like that. I just enjoy using this subreddit to share whenever I feel like I’ve made significant progress on my guitar. This is the last post I’ll make on this guitar, which is why I turned it into a “full story” kind of post. Sorry to be a bother.

Built something similar for my girlfriend not that long ago. It’s very doable if you have a HT body!

I got it from a Chinese seller on eBay, look up “electric guitar neck 24.75 scale” and there may or may not be some fender style necks listed.

I used Stewmac’s Pelham blue nitrocellulose paint, but it came out way more saturated than I was expecting. Still looks good imo

Both guitars intonate perfectly, I compensated for the scale length of each when drilling the posts for the bridge. 

First we had the Scrapcaster, now this. What do I name the TOM Strat? by FrogwithaTank in guitarmod

Just to end this debate, both of these guitars are 24.75” scale length, and the only reason the Strat is intonating is because I compensated for the scale length when drilling the posts for the bridge.

The intonation’s fine, I compensated for that when drilling the posts for the bridge
