Starcaster Partscaster

[Ninet1gt]

Well I finished this up this morning, so I'll share.

Specs
-Rosser Pine Starcaster Body
-Squier CV Strat Neck w/ Gotoh Tuners
-Wilkinson Half Tele Bridge
-Guitar Madness Alnico 2 Humbuckers

Body is finished with Varathane stain and poly. Neck/bridge and string thru holes all line up perfectly.

I built the harness out of the guitar, even though it has rear access it was still a pain to wire in the guitar. And I did have a minor issue with the neck pickup. The bare wire was shorted internally. I ended up having to leave it loose from everything to get sound from the pickup.

The pickups, to my ear, sound great for the $35 I paid. I will buy more pickups from them in the future.

Pretty cool! Had a maple-neck CV strat and man was that ever a sweet neck for the money. Enjoy it!

Looks great ! Like the big brother of my phantom build.

That stain looks awesome! I have a Rosser body on the way as well, and I'm starting to piece the parts together.

I'm assuming that poly was wiped/brushed on? Did you fill the grain with anything? Just let the grain sink into the wood? Or put enough layers to get everything even?

I wish Rosser would ship internationally...

(great partcaster!)

Lovely! Love the black with maple neck, like if Gilmour had a Starcaster?
