In the end I went for Teal/Turquoise. Here's are the first pics from my painter. I really like how it turned out. Very unique...

wow, looks just like Ebony!

Thanks for this, Rick, that is a great post and some great points to consider! Personally, I love changes and growing with something, that's why I always like to start with guitars that are not aged or much aged to begin with and then in time they get beats, dings etc. So an evolving color will...

Looks awesome indeed! I'm considering it for this body

Transparent Turquoise, now that's another one I'd love to do. Do you have a picture of it? Would love to see it...

This Body probably won't win any popularity contest, because it being Basswood and having the Swimming Pool Route, but some of the best Strats I played in the past were Basswood - and I really love how it looks! It's been more than 20 years since I last had a Basswood Strat (back then it was a...

how do you wire a pot for Bass cut?

Thank you so much!!!! I will study this extensively to understand it and implement it in my Strat! Many thanks, seeing it visually helps a lot for a newbie like me!

I see, thanks to the both of you. @stratamania - yes, my tone controls worked in the initial try. @Hodgo - ok, I could be perfectly fine with just 1 tone control and 1 volume. Can you make one up like this? Thanks

Ok, after studying the Seymour Duncan page with how a 5-way switch works for many hours (hey, I am a complete newbie at wiring!), I think this still might work, if I connect 4 additional jumper cables. 2 Green ones from the pickup terminals and 2 blue ones from the tone pots. Wouldn't that...

Thanks, that was the answer I was looking for! I will look for a different wiring diagram then. Thanks!

Ok, so after looking at a Tele wiring diagram, I'm still stuck. I don't understand how a switch works exctly and don't have any idea how a closed circuit works. So in simple terms, what would I need to wire in for the middle position to get active, while keeping the 50s wiring?

So I have this Swamp-Ash Strat Warmoth Body with H-H, so just dual humbuckers with no Single in the middle and a 3-way selector switch. I figured giving 50s wiring a try, so got the attached wiring diagram and followed everything. Now all seems to be working fine except the middle position on...

I play with my thumb over the neck but I also love a fatback, or a 59 shape plus a 1-3/4" nut width! And my hand size is not large, rather a small medium. Go figure...

Hey Aaron, any chance of the Meadowhawk body getting a "chambered" option? I love the chambered bodies from Warmoth, they are my favorite over the solid body counterparts - even for heavy stuff!
