Our HSS Stratocaster-style guitar bodies offer the iconic Stratocaster shape with a versatile pickup configuration, known for delivering the classic tone that’s been featured on countless hit records. Perfectly routed to accommodate both humbuckers and single-coils, these replacement bodies are ideal for guitarists seeking the powerful combination of warm humbucker tones with the clarity of single-coils.

Hand-Selected Alder

Our guitar bodies are crafted from 2-piece A-grade alder, a preferred wood among top guitar manufacturers due to its lightweight to medium weight and easy workability. Alder’s light colour and fine grain make it ideal for both solid and transparent finishes, ensuring a professional look no matter your preference.

Alder also offers impressive sonic characteristics, delivering a resonant, well-balanced tone. Its closed-pore design enhances sustain and attack, producing a rich, full-bodied sound. Thanks to its balanced tonal profile, alder remains one of the most popular woods for electric guitar bodies.

Finished in Iconic Colours

Our HSS guitar bodies are finished in a range of iconic colours, expertly recreated using genuine shades from the big F. Whether you’re looking for a timeless vintage style or a bold modern finish, we have a colour to complement your project.

Perfectly Sized Neck Pocket

Each guitar body is precision-engineered with a neck pocket designed for a snug fit, ensuring easy installation and excellent compatibility with most aftermarket guitar necks, including Fender-style models. Pre-drilled holes make fitting your neck quick and hassle-free.

Built for Compatibility

Designed to work seamlessly with genuine Fender hardware as well as our own branded components, our bodies offer maximum flexibility when selecting parts. Whether you’re creating a traditional Strat-style build or a custom project with upgraded hardware, these bodies are built to meet your needs.

Ready-to-Use Routing

All of our HSS bodies are fully routed for electronics, including pickups, control cavities, and hardware mounts, so you can get started on your build right away. Depending on the model, some bodies may not have pre-drilled tremolo or bridge mounting holes, allowing for greater freedom when choosing your preferred bridge type.
