HSH Blue Sunburst Strat Style Body

Blue Sunburst Stratocaster-Style Electric Guitar Body – Part Loaded

Unleash your vision with this striking Blue Sunburst Stratocaster-style electric guitar body—a premium, part-loaded foundation that fuses classic design with contemporary edge. Whether you’re crafting a one-of-a-kind Partscaster or reviving a cherished beast, this body offers the perfect blend of style, substance, and sonic potential.

The finish is a bold two-tone sunburst, shifting from deep oceanic blues to black edges, with a high-gloss lacquer that catches the light and accentuates every curve. Its contours are smooth and true to vintage Stratocaster proportions, offering both ergonomic comfort and visual impact. This is a body that demands attention—on stage, in the studio, or hanging proudly in your mancave.

Specifications and Included Components:

  • Neck pocket width: approximately 56mm
  • Body thickness: approximately 43mm
  • New tremolo unit
  • Tremolo springs, screws, arm and claw
  • 1 fully loaded SSS scratchplate (single-coil configuration)
  • 1 spare SSS scratchplate for future swaps or experimentation
  • Jack plug socket and chrome boat
  • Screws for both boat and scratchplate included

Crafted to accommodate standard Stratocaster necks and hardware, this body is likely made from basswood or Paulownia—both known for their lightweight feel and balanced tonal response. The wood resonates beautifully, offering warmth and clarity without excess weight, making it ideal for long sessions or live performance.

Condition-wise, it’s been carefully maintained and shows only minimal signs of use—just a couple of tiny dings that do nothing to diminish its overall shine or integrity. The finish remains vibrant, the routing is clean, and the screw holes are solid – all ready for assembly.

Whether you’re a seasoned builder, a gigging musician, or a curious newcomer to the world of custom guitars, this body invites creativity. It’s more than a component—it’s a canvas for your sound, your style, and your story.
