Wired the original bronco pup with 250k cts pots and now I'm waiting for the tuners to show up from stew-Mac
This was inspired by the other builds on here. Thanks for all the cool ideas.

That's cool idea for a headstock if you carve away some of the strat part. Dont think I've ever seen one done like that. I wonder if Fender could sue you twice

It's a short scale so I guess it's 34"...it was a squire neck that I trimmed with a jig saw. It came off a bronco. Fender should make these..

How does it sound with that pickup? Compared to traditional bass pickups, of course.

Bronco is a 30" scale.

That has given me a hell of a relief carving idea which I will use.
