Hey Bro glad that you like it and you are more than welcome to have it your way; Trem, tuners etc... The relicing is easy PROVIDED that you dont get a body thats finished in Poly, that stuff is friggin bulletproof and not worth the headaches if you want relic it. Other than that, keep an eye on ebay and you can put together as serious player for a pittance. If you need any help, just give me a holler, my door is always open to ya!!!

I've been wanting to do a partscaster for ages, but just haven't gotten to one yet, this would be nice to use, though. Kage, well done brother. Not one for relic's but that looks damn nice. Actually looks like a really nice relic job, sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think really beat up looks cool but never understood the lengths that people would go to for "accurate" relicing lol. I wanted something that looked absolutely beat to hell, went through re-entry or a house fire, something that was just thrashed . I took a beat up body and did exactly that without really caring and I think thats why it came out so well... I think that Im going to take a blow torch to the next one and see what I can do with that, go all Marcellus Jackson Medieval on it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the grains on his necks (he's closeby to the MM distributor, goes there personally to pick the best looking ones) look like something you'd find in a $250 neck from other places.

Members diddlybo Posted January 7, 2013 Members Share Posted January 7, 2013 Nice job Kage! That's a unique and cool looking sled you put together there. I too have a partscaster that's one of my favorite guitars. Hell, Strats are really just a couple of pieces of wood bolted together...just take some care in the assembly and you can easily have something as good as a "real" Strat.Anyway, the Area pickups...I was thinking just this weekend about getting a set for my partscaster. Do you ride your guitar volume much when you play? I do and I've noticed that most of the noiseless singles I've used get really thin and lifeless when the guitar volume isn't on 10. How about the Area pups? Do they keep a little muscle as you scale back the guitar volume? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive got to be honest with ya bro, when I think about it, 90% of the time, my volume knob is full bore so I cant give you an accurate answer. I can say that beyond a shadow of a doubt, The Area 61 in the neck, the Area 67 in the middle and either an Area Heavy Blues II or a Tone Zone S in the bridge are my 2 favorite Strat combos of all time... these days, Im all about Heavy Blues Rock and yours is a very good question. I havent noticed anything about them that I dont like at all but Im going to have to mess around with the volume knob a bit more and get back to you..
