This build is based on a 1974 Fender Ash Hardtail Body signed by blues legend Johnny Winter and Edgar Winter.
The neck is a Warmoth Pro Construction 21 fret CBS quartersawn flame maple, Indian Rosewood board, Boatneck profile, 6105 SS wire, Tusq nut, single string tree and vintage tuners. The neck was setup and painted by me using an light amber nitro tint and clear coats.
The original finish body has a Fender USA 57/62 bridge 2 7/32" spacing, Guenther jack plate, Fender strap buttons and string ferrules. The Pro Construction neck is mounted to the 3-bolt body with a ProAttach Kit.
The pickguard is a Fender cold-gold anodized aluminum, pickups are a set of '80s Van Zandt Blues-wound controlled by snow white Fender knobs, covers, switch tip and CTS pots, 3-way switch, cloth wiring. A custom serial numbered neck plate completed the project.
Warmoth did a fantastic job building the neck for this project. The guitar plays beyond extremely well and photos from an obsolete HP box cannot do it justice.
