Relic Stratocaster Style Guitar Body – 2.38kg – 1990s – Part loaded

This Stratocaster style body is routed to take all types of pickup layouts.

This body was bought a few years ago and was sold to me as made by Hohner. The body has gone through several colour changes during its life, yellow, a small amount of blue, black, grey and white. The body has been hand sanded smooth and sealed so would require very little work to complete . There are several historical scratches in the body that have come from previous owners sanding back to repaint and playing etc. but as I previously said these have been sanded smooth. The material used to make it is unknown but is very heavy.

Approx. Thickness: 40mm
Approx. Neck Pocket Width: 57.5mm
Approx. Weight: 2.38kg
Original tremolo unit
New springs
New tremolo arm
Jack socket and boat
Relic finish
Material unknown

About Rat Bait Guitars

If you are looking for a unique and eco-friendly electric guitar, you might want to check out Rat Bait Guitars, a UK-based company that makes hand built guitars from recycled materials.

Rat Bait Guitars are different from other guitars in several ways. First of all, they are made from recycled materials gathered from various sources, such as old furniture, fence posts, roof constructions, flooring, and more. These discarded bits of timber are reused and reshaped into guitar bodies that have a unique character and history. The wood is also upcycled, repurposed, and recycled, which means that it reduces waste and saves resources.

Secondly, Rat Bait Guitars are custom built, which means that each guitar is one of a kind and not repeatable.

Thirdly, Rat Bait Guitars are affordable and accessible for beginners and intermediate players who want a Fender-style guitar without breaking the bank. The guitars range from £125 to £450, depending on the model and features
