ALLPARTS / Replacement Body for Strat SLBD-SBO-HT-PC-F

Replacement body inspired by classic Fender designs. The core material is roasted pologna (paulownia), and roasted swamp ash is sandwiched between the top and back to further reduce weight. The result is a body that not only looks beautiful, but also has a rich sound, stable structure, and surprisingly light weight.

【Why Roasted?】
By roasting (heat treating) the wood blanks before manufacturing, we reduce the moisture content to approximately 7% and increase stability. It also creates a more resonant body with more sustain, faster attack, and a wider range of overtones.
Roasting the wood not only reduces weight, but also increases the visual depth of the wood grain, highlighting the uniqueness of each body.

[Notes]
■Wood grain varies depending on the body. The image is for illustrative purposes only.
■Small dents or scratches may occur during the manufacturing process, but this is not a product defect. Finishing polishing may be required by the customer.
■Minor chips in the neck pocket may occur due to the router bit during the manufacturing process, but this is not a defect. It may be necessary for the customer to correct the problem by polishing or using filler.
■It is recommended to seal the unpainted body before assembly to protect it from the effects of moisture.
■ Roasted wood has a low moisture content, making it more susceptible to cracking. When drilling screw holes, we recommend measuring the inner and outer diameters of the threads in advance and selecting an appropriate drill bit. Also, refrain from forcibly tightening screws into holes drilled with a small drill bit.
