I’m looking for a tele or strat style guitar with a 24.75 or Gibson scale roasted maple, satin finish neck, compound radius roughly 12 to 16 inch, hardtail, non wrap around bridge, HH or HSS (or H90)?
PC part picker may have spoiled me in this regard but why isn’t there a page with a filter-able list of makes/models/year/feature/whatever that lets you search for your favorite spec’d instrument?
I don’t have the money to do it multiple times is the issue. And it would take a few tries to learn how to do everything.
You can buy all the parts you need from Warmoth and do it only once. They sell finished bodies and finished conversion necks (so that you can get your scale length on a strat/ tele body). All you need to do is bolt it together and then take it to a luthier for a final setup.
get a good luthier to build it for you/guide you if you are feeling overwhelmed with the process, its much easier, and in the end you get your perfect guitar
