Selling off a previous guitar project. Definitely a "bitsa" guitar - no two parts are from the same guitar! However, this is a beautiful player and sounds great, not least because of some decent Bare Knuckle pickups. In summary:

Body, neck and tuners bought separately, but all from the Fender Roadworn series. Fit together beautifully - no neck socket gap at all!
Output jack was an EBay buy.
Bridge and tremolo setup from Strings Direct - Replacement American standard.
Pre-wired pickguard from Bare Knuckle - installed with "Mother's Milk" 60's style pickups - all aged looking to match the Roadworn guitar parts.
Currently setup with D'Addario 11's

As it's been put together by my fair hands, please feel free to ask questions!

For sale at £500

Collection from Portsmouth, Hampshire

Is that genuine "roadworn" series parts, or "in the spirit of"?
The body has definitely received some extra "attention" if it's a RW one. Would it be possible to see a picture under the scratchplate?
The back of the neck also looks different. Did you sand it off?

I tried a RW strat and it was really sweet... hmmm.

Yep, all genuine Roadworn parts, though I agree the upper body has had further "attention" from a previous owner... As far as I'm aware the neck is as stock RW model, albeit with some further light use. No further sanding on my part!

When I can get to it I'll pop the top off and get some inside pics up!
