Ha! Sat here saying "Yes!" and "Absolutely, that!" through this. I'm on my fourth build and couldn't agree with you more about the neck. I would however say "get the best neck, then buy the body from the same shop". That way shims are less of a factor. Also get a very good soldering iron, and some good nut slot files. I've done cheap guitars and expensive ones. A properly done partscaster can be top end for a quarter of CS prices. I hadn't played a Strat that sounded like a '62 Strat until I built it (for about £1200). Not cheap, but full of character and sweet as you can imagine. Keep up the good work.
My partscaster (Tele) is the one I grab the most…feels great, sounds great (mine has a Billy Gibbons bridge pickup from Seymour Duncan), and plays great (mine has a Brad Paisley MIM neck).
you deserve so much more subscribers
Really appreciate it mate. Thanks!

Thanks mate! That’s actually some really good advice. I still need a good soldering iron.

There’s something extra special about a good partscaster
