Is the body of an American Strat made of one piece of wood?

But you can buy a one piece replacement body from Warmoth or Stew-Mac if you so desire.

A fender american strat is made by combining these key ingredients:
- Wicked Awesomeness
- Love
- Magic
- ....I think they might be putting a little wood in there these days...

Typically the body is made from one block of either Alder that gets routed for three single coil pickups, a Standard Bridge, with a Standard Tremelo...) the Body is one Piece with a Bridge & a loaded Pickguard bolted onto it, & usually a 22 Fret Neck is a seperate piece allthough there are some older strats that are cut out of One Peace of wood...like Bonnie Raitt's worn Finish guitar, that's one piece but her Blue Burst Desert Sunset Signature Stratocaster...is not one-piece
