Since my little bro picked up a Mexi strat, I've wanted one more and more. To make matters worse I've been watching Cream Live at Albert Hall and also Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock so I have been yearning for those Strat tones for a while (well Eric's strat still kinda sounds like a strat?!)
So I scored a loaded pickguard with Bareknuckle Apaches from the 'bay and following a past few months I have been trawling the forum / internet / for ideas for a look colours and had many days deliberating over different body colours woods materials etc.
When I came back from holiday I ran the neck feed and spotted this neck.
That was a week ago and I've just put the order in. I'm pretty excited. I'm going to go for vintage fender frets (6230) but not stainless steel this time as I don't really like their feel on my SG's neck. I'm also getting Warmoth to paint in Vintage Gloss as I don't want to do this myself.
In terms of the body I am still not 100% sure, but I am leaning VERY heavily towards Willyk's Korinakaster and Troubled Treble's Korina Strat with THAT Ziricote neck.
The idea is that I would finish the body myself using Tung oil, which I could easily do in my apartment (I think).
Thats all for now, I'll post a pic when I get the neck.
