Just placed an order for everything I need to build my next guitar 
My first build was a warmoth fiesta red strat, with a second hand reliced neck. Not sure where the neck came from, but its ebony on something, clay dots, 50/50 fret markers, lightly reliced. Full of mojo :glasses9:
Dropped in a pre-assembled klein pickguard and called it a day.
Bringing us back to the present...
Just picked up this from the showcase... im sorry if anyone else had an eye on it!! Chambered mahogany, with a zebrawood top. Natural masked binding
The neck was also from the showcase, Ebony on Goncalo Alves, stainless frets, cream dots. Im keeping it raw
Now the more custom parts: I had it routed for 2 humbuckers. I was set on p90s for this guitar, but was worried that being rear routed id be stuck with whatever choice I made forever. So i came up with a medium. Im dropping in 2 seymour duncan p-rails. After a night of looking through many many threads on how to best wire these, Ive come up with my own method.
Controls:
3 way blade switch, pickup selector
-
1 Universal Volume
4 way rotary switch for neck pickup
4 way rotary switch for bridge pickup
-
I can live without a tone control I hope (otherwise concentric vol/tone it is), mahogany and goncalo being warmer woods I doubt ill need to roll of more treble.
The 4way rotaries will be wired for selection between: p90, rail, series, parallel.
Hardware wise Im going all black. I was very close to pulling the trigger on gold hardware, until I saw this thread http://www.unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=20107.0
The understated black hardware looks amazing!! So went with a black wilkinson trem, schaller locking tuners, schaller straplocks.
Anyway just too excited, thought id share, and have a place for pics as the pieces come
