Hi ! I'm new here ,and not sure how this works ???I find rescue guitars at flee markets and fix um .lots of fun + cheep too . I took apart 4 of them last week + insulated the cavities (per your directions) and was amazed with the great results .I found 2 "lotus brand"strat copies (anyone know about this brand?)A putty blue one $35 and a beautiful blond w/gold hardware $40 I fell in love with .On blue I replaced the nut straightened the neck added a pp pot to get all pup combos then replaced the frets with maple strips to make it fretless , Jeff my bro. wanted one after reading an article in guitar player .He loves it .The blond got a gold floyd rose ,the neck straightened the frets leveled ,crowned +polished.seymore dunkin hot rails neck+bridge lil 59 mid (used $75) Claptin mid boost from guitar fetish pp mid pot for all pup combos.I dumped about $150 into this $40 guitar love it I think it plays + sounds better than my friends E C strat but none of my crap holds a candle to all the cool stuff I'm learning from this site. I just picked up a hamer strat for $55 and cant wait to try all the mods I'm getting here!I;v fixed about 10 rescues to date .This site + the wealth of info it supplies is giving me the courage to build my own someday .THANKS so much. ;D
