Stripcaster HH – 2

Badscrew, June 17, 2023July 15, 2023

Continuing from the part 1

First couple of oil coats to seal the wood against the dust and the dirt.

Next making a pickup routing template and the routing out the cavity

The combination of the previous pickup and the new pickup cavities makes for a weird shape 🙂

Testing the fit: it’s fine! The pickups are from the local classifieds, apparently from an Epiphone 335 Dot. I’ve already had them installed in my Squier Strat (that I don’t have anymore) and they worked very well. Hoping they will sound good in this Tele too.

Removed the old nut and installed a new Graphtech instead. It also has better spacing, the old one was cut too narrow

Ending it all by new electronics

And it’s over!

What do you do if you don’t like the color of a guitar you have? I don’t know about you (maybe you don’t buy it in the first place), but I refinish it just because I can 🙂 This is the guitar I’ve got with a big discount, it was…
