A little bit of help please, whoever has a fender strat, could you please tell me let me know the thickness of the body please as there are a few variations. Also could I have a front/side and back view.

 

Thanks in advance, Ian

44 - 45 mm on a genuine Strat . I have a few and they are in one piece swamp ash or one piece north American Alder . All around the 45mm mark .

Thickness I would say is 44mm

Cheers, is the insert going down the back neck to get to the truss rod. Are all strats like that.

Is that a Squire ? i ask as the trem cover screw holes are in line with each other . On a genuine Strat the middle pair are offset .

The inset or Skunk stripe is to cover were the truss rod has been inserted on one piece maple necks . On rose wood capped necks it is put in from the fret board side .

Yes it is a squire. I forgot to mention that, in case they are different but I thought the shape was the same.

I've asked my brother. Will let you know. Are you making one?

Squires are often thinner .

Well I'm going to try, just waiting on a few tools.
