fanfeckintastic!!!
I love everything about this guitar! can't wait to see it completed!
The masked binding is so cool on strats!
also, the lsr/wilkinson combo is by far my favorite! and that on a wenge neck! whoohoo!
 
That looks utterly fantastic.  :eek:

I think the ebony will be a winner there. That blueburst is definitely one of the best I've seen.
 
The more I think about this project the more I think about a Goncalo or Wenge neck instead of the flame maple. What do you all think would look good on this project (with a white pearloid pickguard)
 
For my first build, I'm buying finished body, and a rosewood neck that need no finish. :D This VIP is gonna look "SPIFFY".  :toothy10:
 
VERY nice body finish

FINALLY got around to ordering the neck for this one. Oh, I hemmed, and I hawed, and I cried, and prayed to the good lord for a LONG time about this decision. Wenge, Canary, Flame Maple, I agonized about this one. Now it's official.

Ordered all my hardware with it. Next paycheck is my pickups and the case and then it all goes to the luthier.

AMPED.  :headbang1:
 
There was a time when  this guitar was all but guaranteed a canary neck. There was also a time I was convinced on wenge/ebony. When you wait almost 8 months to order, time does funny things to your mind. :)
 
Ya know. Ive put together many wood Strat combos, and I truly love them all to death for thier unique tone signature... but at the end of the day,  Alder and quilt Maple with a Maple neck  is *still the best sounding Strat, IMO (  with a  Pau fretboard for me) . Very well done indeed!
 
I have a Canary neck and love it to death.  I also have a Wenge neck that I am still working on that I think I will love to death.  It just feels so good not even attached to the body.
However, there is just something about the looks of a nice Birdseye Maple neck; gotta love the looks... :glasses9:
Can't wait to see pics of this baby assembled. 
:rock-on:
