body as seen made in USA is an example of what you will receice in this listing is for you to place your order for JVGuitars to make it for you JVG-LuthierBuilt. For those wondering if you feel the checking on this boidy the answer is NO it feels smooth to the hand touch like a real vintage 60's strat would feel same intro lacquer aged finishes by JVGuitars in Northern California guitar restoration specialist since 1992 vintage guitars and used guitars sales and service and full restoration parts department in house.. 

These are custom built first by CNC then further hand shaped to vintage spec deep sexy vintage contour body. This is a premium resonant body made of. 3-piece Palowania the grain pattern is great looks much like Ash and is a light weight resonant wood with very good tap tone ring This will make a killer STRAT. This color is a Sunburst lacquer in that all Nitro lacquer finish we have also used the famous old school under coat sealer tinted yellow same as Leo's boys did back in the day ( 50s-60's )  these bodys are then thin skin top coated with nitro instrument lacquer and finish allows for woods natural grain to show threw thin skin shrunkin in for ultimate tone and is custom formulated by JVGuitars. Iv learned from painting cars for decades now since 1970 at 14 and I have painted dozens of custom high end cars trucks and bikes -helmets - guitars - vintage furnature you name it for well over 40 years Iv been a Luthier since 1992. This Strat body is built to std blueprint of the original parts can vary in size by a few MM between the body and fitting a neck often it is required of the guitar builder to “fit” the neck to a body and that is done by the assembler at time of building this is nothing new this is why "Mr Leo F " would sand neck or pocket use shims and so on to fine tune adjust and or fit , this prep work is to be expected and should your neck or body require you the builder to make the final fit this is ordinary and not a defect and is not returnable for such reasons. This is a no nonsense listing,

 WHAT YOU SEE IS SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU GET ... the body and pickguard and pickup covers seen has been sold we will make you another set very similar yet unique no 2 are exactly the same.

Please allow current timeline to make it at up to 35 - 45  working days to build ready to ship.
