RPM (Rear Pickup Mount) Hardtail ST Body- 21/22 Fret Heel - Fender(tm) Strat(tm) Neck Compatible

Custom RPM (Rear Pickup Mount) ST- style body.  The pickups and controls mount from the rear of the body giving a very clean and elegant look.  No pickguard or odd looking mounting rings are required (or recommended) for this body style.  Hardtail configurations only.

All of our bodies come sanded to 220 grit, which is an acceptable point to start to seal the body for paint, or ready for further sanding to your desired grit if you are doing a natural finish.

Control Placement Info......  If you choose to have any of the controls cut into the body, they will be cut in the standard, factory location that would be found on a typical American Strat pickguard.  If you require non-standard placement, the control(s) will need to be cut in on your end by a qualified technician.

Neck Pocket................Standard, 2 3/16" width (nominal dimensions), 6 string Fender Strat specs. (compatible with Strat style 21/22 fret, 25.5" scale necks.  ).  READ THIS CAREFULLY- Please note that to ensure you have a snug fit with your neck and to ensure plenty of adjustment space for height setup parameters, we purposely cut our neck pockets to the tight and shallow side of tolerance, meaning if you have a neck  in the middle to wide side of heel width tolerance, simple neck pocket adjustments may be required.   This is a feature to ensure an optimized fit of your neck.   The typical pocket width is about 2.175" which will provide a nice snug fit for necks that are cut on the middle to inside of width tolerance. We aim for .60-.62" pocket depth (if you need the pocket deeper, we will need to have a discussion before you purchase the body).  If none of this makes sense, or you do not have the resources to do simple neck pocket modifications, you should consult with a qualified and competent technician before attempting to assemble your own guitar.
