Building your own Strat-style guitar? This roasted poplar body is a fantastic starting point. It's shaped like a classic ST (Stratocaster) with all the right contours – belly cut and forearm comfort. It's made from roasted (thermally treated) poplar, which is stable, lightweight (between 3.5-4.4 lbs), and known for a balanced, resonant tone. The finish is a slick polyester coat in a vibrant Graffiti Yellow. It's already routed for three single-coil pickups (SSS configuration) in the classic '50s style, with a top-mounted output jack and control cavity ready for your electronics. The neck pocket is precision-cut to 56mm wide (standard USA spec) to fit most Strat-style necks. Scale length is 25.5\. Comes well-packaged in a protective foam case. This is a 'body only' – you'll need to add a neck, hardware, pickups, and electronics. Perfect for DIY builders, hobbyists, or as a replacement/upgrade body for an existing project. If you want a great-sounding, lightweight body with a pro finish that's ready for your custom build, this is it.
