This is something I had thought about making for a long time. It is made out of the same woods that my Strats are made of. The flat parts are Alder, the sides of the box are Maple, and the dowels holding it all together, are Walnut. The handle is the same one on my strats case. I used the same straplock pins that are on my strat as well. I had a friend spray it with nitro cellulose lacquer for a really professional finish. It came out great. It feels just like the back of a Strat neck.

Those specs are the outer dimensions. Any of the "smooth shaft" Alpha pots will work.

+1 internets to you wave.gif

 

Small Bear has all the pots you need. You are looking for Alpha Single Gang with a Smooth Shaft in either 16mm or 24mm. "Dual" = Dual Gang.
