Matching: All surf colours Red Non-Matching: Sunburst Black White I actually agree with that system. Except I really only like matching stocks on necks with rosewood fretboards, I think they loook odd with maple fretboards. I also agree, but i did like the pro-tone Strats with matching (black or mi...

Looking at personalised Decals its quite pricey. I got a quote from thedecalshop.co.uk for my Strat. I asked for a spaghetti F-type logo in gold saying 'Frander Stratomaster' and the asking price is 25 pounds for the one-off artwork then 8 pounds per decal. I can appreciate the time involved but imo...

Just from a few opinions i think go for bone, plus i have one here.
I'll set to it tomorrow along with spraying that headstock while i'm at it! ((hellyeah))

Aug, did you cut your slots prior to fitting or when the nut was firmly in place?

Kewl.

Bone sounds good to me and the techniques you mentioned Aug are the ones i was considering. :wink:

As for removing the old nut would it be best to 'knock' it out sideways or 'pull/prise' out from above?

*Edit* I'm assuming it is easier to cut the slots when the nut is fixed in place stable?

Nut replacement

Before i hit the google button i'm looking for some opinions on nut replacement and tips on fitting. My Strat hybrid currently has a poorly cut plastic nut on the neck and i'm looking at the options available... Good olde Plastic Brass Bone Deez Advantages/Disadvantages? I picked up a bone nut for o...

Try google for parts but i'll tell you now they are'nt cheap. Even on ebay they bullshit you that certain parts are off a '63 Jag and all that twaddle.

Out of your 3 landon i would go with number 2, although fitting that trem is gonna mean some filling etc. My project idea was influenced by a 30 quid loaded Strat body on ebay. I intended to keep it budget orientated, trial & error with minimal work. That's why i'm keeping the bottom half of the...

Here's a rough example of how the Jag trem will sit on a Strat body; http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y222/franlubas/stratjag4.jpg Where as an offset body like the Jagmaster is more suited to that trem. Imo i think the strat trem on a Jagmaster looks crap; http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y222/franl...

Aye, i'm in the slow process of doing something similar. Only i'm lookin to mix jazzy and jag with strat, once i get the scratchy off Aug i'll post a pic up so you can see how things are looking. *Edit* Your image is a bit a bit out with the jag trem, it looks much more 'crowded' than that because o...
