The body is the same as an original 55 fender stringmaster. All openings are same size and depth.
If you need to replace a old body or have some parts from an old fender they will fit straight on this body.

Very glad to see this Jimmy, I have actually considered a project like this and these would be a good start instead of trying to do this stuff yourself. Good luck with 'em.

Nice! What is the end to end length for the 24.5" scale board?

The total length centerline is 34 3/16 inches.
I start with a board 38 inches by 6 inches to cut it on the CNC machine.

I got a mahogany blank and finished it with clear lacquer. Lollar pups and it turned out great.

That looks great. I prefer the "orphan stringmaster" style single 8 to the Fender Deluxe version as I really like having the volume and tone on the end like that.

The clear lacquer really makes the wood grain stand out too.

Did you wire it with a blend pot?

Yes I can do the body without the pickup pockets routed. Do you want just the body? Or do you want the kit with all the parts in the kit?
