Custom STRATOCASTER Build | With Bigsby

This is the second addition to my homemade guitar collection. It features the iconic design of the Stratocaster, but has a few extras such as a Bigsby vibrato and cream binding on the front. The body is Poplar, and the Neck is Mahogany topped with a Rosewood fretboard. The pickups are Fender Tex-Mex Stratocaster pickups in the traditional SSS configuration. Other features include a bridge from a Fender Mustang, and vintage Gotoh tuners on the headstock. Many aspects this build were new to me such as the painted body and headstock, the binding on the front, and of course the beautiful monstrosity that is the Bigsby B50! I hope this build shows what is possible for anyone willing to put in the effort to build their own guitar. Enjoy!
