Tulip Style Contoured Body made from recycled materials, part loaded. For scale length: 25.5″
This 1970s inspired body was made in the UK in March 2023 from salvaged timber and a piece of 1950s parquet flooring.
The design of the body is based on Japanese Tulip Guitars from the 1960s / 70s which were marketed by Kay Guitars. This full size body is routed in a HSH configuration and is designed to take a modified Stratocaster scratchplate, see photos to view modification. Originally this guitar was fitted with a bridge and clam shell string retainer taken from a Jedson 1970s guitar.
This body has a slightly road worn / relic look to it, with a few dents and bumps. This is a fantastic base for a DIY, 1970s type project.
The scratchplate, jack plug and pickups are included in the sale.
1970s inspired design.
