Strat Reverse head stock

juno75

I plan on building up a Frankenstien strat built outta parts from various suppliers from the net.
I find stock strats to be a bit of a joke quality wise and over priced, here anyhow.
So I reckon for 800 bucks I can build a pretty tight little strat.

One thing I want to do is have a left hand neck on a right hand body a la jimmi vibe
Its only cosmetic but along with a chrome scratch plate and plain oiled wood a reverse headstock would look pretty kool.

SO guitar geeks - is there anything that has to be taken into account regarding the setup- tuners/truss/nut etc?
I figure I'll have to cut a new nut anyway for the reverse stringing and I suppose the truss rod would turn in the oppisate directions relative to a r/h neck?

I think it should be OK to do this but if ye can confirm thats much appricated.

Truss rod will turn the same way as normal. It's just a normal screw. Have you checked out www.warmoth.com ?

there is a difference between a capital and a word that loses meaning from the way it's spelt, barely anybody uses capitals on the internet anwyay, i wasn't that serious, JESUS!

Appreciated, appricated. Pretty similar and understandable in my book.

Anyways, you should be able to bolt a lefty neck to a righty body.

Get a life you pedantic plonker.

Enough effort?
