    I made a partscaster with select parts and it is a great, versatile guitar with great intonation and stable tuning. i love it. Fralin pickups are great!

    Great tones. Well done, I love partcasters. Factory Fenders are partcasters too, and maybe they don't have all the options you need.

    I love builds like these. you pick every piece you like the most and get a guitar perfectly for ur needs. and its a joy if its finished and works just as you thought. love it!

    I'm addicted to building bolt-on neck guitars. I enjoy building them as much or more than I enjoy playing them. I keep the good ones and sell the others at loss or even give them away in some cases. Then, you end up with a bunch of random parts and can play Legos with your builds. I tell my wife to think of it as gambling or drinking, just with something to show for my efforts.

    It’s totally worth it - you end up with a unique guitar, made to your own specifications. But it probably won’t be entirely straightforward to assemble and it certainly won’t be cheap, if you want quality. Planning the build and sourcing the parts is a lot of fun in itself. And if you want to change something later, you already have something to use for your next project! There will be one 😉

    YES. they are absolutely worth it! they can inspire more thought through depper connection because its all hand selected pieces for the guitar

    I'll never buy a bolt-on neck guitar from the store ever again after "building" two Strats, it was a lot of fun finding all the best components and I had two Brazilian rosewood necks built that are the heart of both guitars!.
    A '61 and a '66 style, one Olympic white, one 3TS.

    I’ve made a couple parts guitars, after I spent money for the quality parts, I could have bought a new, nicer guitar. I had fun, but it’s not a money saving project.

    If you use a genuine Fender body and neck, then its value should hold up better than a guitar made from non-Fender parts. In any case, make it yourself and you get the guitar you want, in every respect.

      Very nice gtr. Cheers ! Highly Highly recommend Glendale bridge and saddles - absolutely next level . Also Warmoth in Washington USA make telecaster bodies with stratocaster contours eliminating the bruised ribcage/numb picking forearm issue that may or may not plague players of a certain age group. Once again , yours is a lovely guitar. Have a great day .
