Question hello,
I have been playing guitar for a few years, and i enjoy it but no guitar fits my standards. The question i wanted to ask you is, i like the stratocaster body and the B.C. rich warlock necks i am thinking of buy a 1994 Fender Strat Stratocaster Body, LP SG HUMBUCKER GUITAR PICKUPS - FOR GIBSON, a 24 jumbo dot Rosewood fretboard Maple neck and the wires and other small thing to make it and make a guitar is this possible i know i would have to cut the three holes to make the LP SG HUMBUCKER GUITAR PICKUPS fit. so please tell me if these parts can work on one guitar. thanks for all the help. nic
Answer Hello Nic. This is one of the reasons people come to me looking to have a custom guitar built from the ground up to suit their needs and desires. Now as for the SG pickups you should be able to fit those in but where the problem lies is in the 24 fret neck. Fenders are designed to have a 21 fret neck with a 2 and 1/8" string spread at the saddle. My concern is that the neck won't fit the Fender neck pocket and your going to have to do some custom routing to make it work. Even then without all the measurements I can't be certain that it will work. Alternatively you could contact me and we could talk about building you one from the ground up. Hope this helps.
