Classic 'Strat' style body—this pre-routed (HSH pickup configuration) piece is an excellent starting point for a custom build. This iconic body shape will serve as a solid foundation for your next project.

The Strat/Strat-Style body is one of the most well-known and popular electric guitar body shapes there are.  And - HERE'S YOUR CHANCE TO START WITH A STRAT-STYLE FOUNDATION AND BUILD THE GUITAR YOU'VE ALWAYS WANTED — THIS RED HSH BODY IS READY FOR A CUSTOM PROJECT! With the classic Strat-style silhouette and an HSH pickup layout, this body gives you the familiar ergonomics and visual attitude of one of the most influential electric-guitar designs ever created, while leaving the rest of the instrument completely open to your imagination. This is a body only, making it an ideal foundation for a custom build, parts guitar, restoration project, or hot-rodded Strat-style instrument.

The HSH configuration is particularly appealing for players who want more tonal firepower than the traditional three-single-coil setup. Humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions can deliver thicker, more powerful tones for rock, blues and higher-gain playing, while the middle single-coil provides the familiar clarity and snap associated with the classic Strat-style sound. HSH has a serious history in the world of modified Strat designs, too — Fender's own Dave Murray Stratocaster, developed with Iron Maiden guitarist Dave Murray, featured a supercharged HSH configuration with DiMarzio humbuckers and a Fender-style middle pickup.

The Stratocaster platform has been embraced by an extraordinary list of guitarists, from Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck to Stevie Ray Vaughan, David Gilmour, John Mayer, Mike McCready and countless others. That enormous history is part of what makes a Strat-style body such a versatile starting point: the basic shape has proven itself in blues, rock, country, funk, metal and virtually everything in between. This red finish adds plenty of visual presence, while the HSH routing opens the door to a much wider range of pickup combinations and custom wiring possibilities.

For the builder who has been looking for the right foundation, this is where the fun begins. Add the neck, pickups, electronics, bridge and hardware of your choice and turn this body into something completely your own. Whether you're planning a screaming rock machine, a versatile studio guitar, or simply want a hands-on custom project, a good body is where everything starts — and this one gives you plenty of room to make it yours. If you've been waiting for the right project to come along, don't let this red HSH body sit on the bench for someone else to discover first.
