Product details
Our SSS Stratocaster Style guitar bodies offer the iconic Stratocaster shape and configuration, known for delivering the classic tone that’s been featured on countless hit records. Perfectly routed to accommodate your choice of pickups, these replacement bodies are ideal for guitarists seeking the legendary sound of single-coil pickups.
Hand-Selected Alder
Our guitar 2-piece bodies are crafted from A-grade alder, a popular choice among leading guitar manufacturers due to its lightweight to medium weight and ease of use. Alder is known for its light colour and fine grain, making it an excellent wood for applying finishes. Whether you prefer a solid or transparent finish, alder handles both beautifully.
Sonically, alder offers many benefits, including a resonant, well-balanced tone. Its closed-pore structure helps produce a full-bodied sound with excellent sustain and attack. With its balanced tonal properties and versatile nature, alder remains a favourite for guitar builders and players alike.
Finished in Iconic Colours
Our guitar bodies are finished in a range of iconic colours, faithfully recreated by us using genuine shades from the big F. Whether you’re after a classic vintage look or something bold and modern, you’ll find a finish to suit your style and inspire your next build.
Perfectly Sized Neck Pocket
Our guitar bodies are designed with precise compatibility in mind. Each neck pocket is carefully crafted to ensure a snug fit and comes with pre-drilled holes for easy installation. This makes our bodies an excellent match for most aftermarket guitar necks, including those designed for Fender-style guitars.
Built for Compatibility
All of our bodies are engineered to be compatible with genuine Fender hardware, as well as our own branded parts. This ensures that you have maximum flexibility when it comes to selecting components, whether you’re aiming for a traditional build or a custom project with upgraded hardware.
Ready-to-Use Routing
We ensure that all our guitar bodies are fully routed for electronics, including pickups, control cavities, and hardware mounts, so you can get started on your project quickly. Some models may not include pre-drilled tremolo or bridge mounting holes, as this allows for greater flexibility in selecting and installing different types of bridges.
