In true LFGSS fashion I've been trying to think of a build to use up my nice Telecaster pickups I bought for previously abandoned project...
I think I've settled on the plan.
I'm going to get one of these Red Hand Armory aluminium necks from a chap I discovered on Instagram, wait time will be a while away and I need to sell a few bits to fund it but it looks bloody fantastic and I've always wanted an aluminium neck guitar...
It's 25.5" scale and completely modular so can fit any neck pocket (comes with Strat and Tele fits standard) and replacement headstocks can be ordered to change the style or number of strings.
...for the body I'm going to make a swamp ash Cloud guitar body scaled up 3% to accommodate the Fender scale length, original Cloud guitars were 24.75". Think I'm going to leave it natural finish or butterscotch and I'm undecided on what to do with the bridge yet (maybe a G.E. Smith style half Telecaster bridge) but that's the idea for now anyway...
I might move the jack around to the edge and try and make the body scroll a bit deeper/ more ornate but plenty of time to decide on particulars...
