Product details
Our SSS Stratocaster style guitar bodies deliver the iconic shape and configuration that has defined the sound of countless hit records. Perfectly routed to accommodate your choice of pickups, these bodies are an excellent choice for guitarists looking to recreate the legendary tones of single-coil pickups.
Stunning Flame Maple Tops
Each body features a hand-selected flame maple top, giving it a distinctive, eye-catching appearance. The unique figuring of flame maple ensures no two bodies look the same, making your instrument truly one of a kind. Finished in our range of faithfully recreated classic and modern colours, the flame maple tops add depth, contrast, and visual character that stands out on any stage.
Hand-Selected Alder Back
The core of each body is crafted from A-grade 2-piece alder, a popular choice among leading guitar manufacturers thanks to its lightweight to medium weight and excellent tonal balance. Alder’s light colour and fine grain make it an ideal base for finishes, while its tonal qualities provide resonance, sustain, and a well-balanced frequency response. Combined with the flame maple top, this construction offers both visual appeal and tonal versatility.
Perfectly Sized Neck Pocket
Our guitar bodies are designed with precision to ensure a snug neck fit, with pre-drilled holes for straightforward installation. Compatible with most aftermarket guitar necks, including those designed for Fender-style guitars, they provide a reliable platform for your next build.
Built for Compatibility
All of our bodies are engineered to work with genuine Fender hardware as well as our own branded components, giving you the freedom to choose between traditional builds or modern upgrades.
Ready-to-Use Routing
Each body comes fully routed for pickups, control cavities, and hardware, so you can get started immediately. Some models may not include pre-drilled tremolo or bridge mounting holes, allowing greater flexibility for your choice of bridge style.
