    Talking New Partcaster day

    I just finished this tonight. It's my first Partscaster. The body is a surplus GFS alder body. The neck is a Carvin. The pickups are a A5 set from Strings & Things in Memphis. I had to buy a bridge and a few small parts. But I put it together and it sounds and plays good.

    Sorry about the glare from the basement lights. The body is plain red.

    That's awesome. The glare actually looks cool, like racing stripes.

    Here it is with the Mighty Mite neck. I'm using the Carvin neck for a Strat project.
