That tremelo cavity is not flat. A body I ordered on ebay was the same way. It drops off a bit for some reason. Good thing I measured the bridge screw length before I drilled. My Fender bridge screws would have been sticking through. I believe the import bodies are like that. I had to order shorter import bridge screws.
Partscaster building is such a fun hobby, even though the one I built isn't perfect. It's got a personal and unique vibe. Can't get enough of the tone! I just posted a video with it, hooked up to an obscure seventies Italian tube amp. The clean and drive tones are awesome together.
Love this! I’ve always thought that semi hollow strats are the best way to get Eric Johnson’s 335 and strat tones out of one guitar, especially if you use .047 caps

Hey, even the ones built by fender are not perfect. Thanks for watching and sharing!!
@@rustyfenders101 it's the little inconsistencies that make music playing and listening so enjoyable.

I agree. Love the tone and the weight! I’m using a .047 cap!
I didn't see an earth wire from the pots to the springs. Standard on a Strat.
It has it. I didn’t realize that it was cut from the video. Thanks for pointing that out! Thanks for watching.
Sweet guitar!! Maybe a long drill with a small piece of pipe to keep it off the finish would have done those holes better.
Where did you get the body from?
Ebay seller: allpartspipe . Thanks for watching!!
Nice !!! is it light enough for the 100oz challenge ???
I need to check !!
