I’ve purchased 2 of these and have been very happy with both of them. Had to do a little sanding in the neck pocket to get the neck to fit properly. But overall…I will prolly buy another…or two…lol
The grain is nice for staining or just clearcoating if you choose. They are routed for hsh hardware ,which is a bonus for me.
Thanks Solo, you guys rock.
Sincerely
Jeff Morrow

The order was on time and arrived in perfect condition, fits the neck and bridge and pickgaurd I had previously ordered from amazon. In the future I plan to buy more from this company, they are very friendly and fast to help if you call. Very happy with my experience here!

I’m not sure if it’s me who isn’t knowledgable enough about stratocasters body specifications, but compared to my 2008 Made in Mexico Fender strat, the belly carve and the arm rest on this body are quite thick and “required” a significant amount of work (with hand tools) to bring this body shape closer to my MIM strat. That was much more work than I expected. The neck pocket is pretty much as advertised at 55.67 mm wide but neck heels (that is on the neck themselves) can vary in size so the fit will vary. I have , for example, a roasted maple Solo Pro ST style neck with 22 frettes that is loose in this body’s neck pocket, a regular maple Solo ST style neck with 21 frettes witch fits too tight and the Fender neck on my MIM strat which fits perfectly. Just saying, your results will vary. On the positive side, the body I received is a 3 piece instead of the 5 piece in the photographes.
