Flametop Guitar Body

the finish is like an armor, really beautiful colors, bright tone

I was impressed when the body that arrived was not only just as flawless as the picture, but also more beautiful than expected.

The only issue with the body is on mine the input jack wire hole was very very small, I needed to fit 2 wires through that hole, but it barely ended up fitting one. I used a smaller wire with 1 regular sized and I barely ended up wedging it through the one hole...that being said...with every other hole they were perfect size, all and all, these bodies are an amazing deal.

I've buy the "Tobacco Burst", the blue was out of stock...It really doesn't matter.
In my body, the neck holes don't formed a perfect square, but this not really critical. More critical: the tremolo mass hole is a little too small to place precisely a Hipshot Tremolo. On installing, we can see the mass touch the 6th string side of the hole, while the strings are a little diverted towards 1st string edge...

Nothing TOO critical, but we must to route a little to correct this.

I love the Strat style body and neck I ordered for StewMac ! The body looks gorgeous. The neck pocket angle was perfect with no shim needed for the neck to be at the perfect angle. The guitar sounds great and plays great. It was easy to put together. It is my favorite guitar and I own many guitars including a Fender Custom Shop Strat. It is like my "Sir" guitar.

Very good finishing, beautiful look, excellent for a personalized guitar project.

This Body is perfectly crafted and beautifully finished. The veneer is of top quality and the quilted effect has lots of depth. And the burst finish is spot on.
More of that please!

A very beautiful piece made with quality and superior finish. I was impressed. It exceeded my expectations. Now is to finish my project that I'm sure will be very nice.

I chose the tobacco burst as a replacement for my incredibly ugly GK-ready Fender Strat. Check out the new pearloid pickguard as well...

I've made 3 guitars with these bodies, and they all turned out great. The Cherry and tobacco bursts are perfect, but the blue burst was too dark to my taste.

In one word gorgeous !
This body is well made, sooo good looking and it perfectly accepts the stewmac neck.
This body has nothing exceptional, but nothing to complain about.
A very good base for a home made guitar kit!
See the final result made with stewmac part only.
