These are custom built first by CNC then further hand shaped to vintage spec deep sexy vintage contour body. This is a premium resonant body made of. 2-3 piece Palowania the grain pattern is great looks much like Ash and is a light weight resonant wood with good tap tone ring routed HSH some SSS available some SSH if you do not state a preverence it may be any of those. This will make a killer STRAT. This color is a Vivid  CANDY APPLE RED lacquer in that all Nitro lacquer finish we have also used the famous old school under coat sealer tinted yellow same as Leo's boys did back in the day ( 50s-60's )  these bodys are then thin skin top coated with nitro instrument lacquer and finish allows for woods natural grain to show threw thin skin shrunkin in for ultimate tone and is custom formulated by JVGuitars. Iv learned from painting cars for decades now since 1970 at 14 and I have painted dozens of custom high end cars trucks and bikes -helmets - guitars - vintage furnature you name it for well over 40 years Iv been a Luthier since 1992. This STRAT  body is built to std blueprint of the original parts can vary in size by a few MM between the body and fitting a neck often it is required of the guitar builder to “fit” the neck to a body and that is done by the assembler at time of building this is nothing new this is why "Mr Leo F " would sand neck or pocket use shims and so on to fine tune adjust and or fit , this prep work is to be expected and should your neck or body require you the builder to make the final fit this is ordinary and not a defect and is not returnable for such reasons. This is a no nonsense listing,

WHAT YOU SEE IS SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU GET ... the body seen IS THE BODY has been sold we will make you another one very similar yet unique no 2 are exactly the same.
