Hey Guys. So lucky me I got surgery and will not be able to play guitar for the next 6 weeks so I figure this will be the best time to do my first build. I was hoping I could get some input from yall about what I should go for and maybe help with some prices. Since im working with around 700 bucks I might have to be on a budget? I honestly dont know anything about putting a guitar together ive just seen some of the stuff people have done around the forum and thought it looked awesome. So here are my ideas let me know which one you think I should and if you know of a realistic price range that each might be under.
1. A cypress mica strat/tele with mint green pick guard. I would love to get some amp knobs on it as well if I go with making the strat.
2.A medium relic baby blue strat.
I really want to spring for a legit american fender neck but if I have to get a mexican strat body will the necks fit? I thought I saw a thread a few weeks ago where someone had done that and the neck didnt fit.
Also I want to get legit with them and put the custom shop logo on the back of the neck.
And another thing is the pickups. I think I have a grasp on what I want but any suggestions to get close to that mayer tone are greatly appreciated.
And also is there anything I should expect. I could just be very naive but just throwing parts on doesnt seem too hard. Besides having someone install the pickups for me should I just be able to throw it all together?
Thanks Guys love the forum and hope to get some feedback.
