You will find that a lot of people will strongly approve of this combination!
I'm not a quilt maple fan myself, but this should look pretty cool...

These arent the greatest photo's in the world, but they'll give you an idea. When looking at the body with the naked eye, the colours are just amazing.

When the knuckles go in, Im gonna have a machine goin!  :headbang1:

 

[jlegnor]

Are you sure the D-Tuna will clear the recess route?  I just ask cause the Floyd will sit kinda down into the route on the body and the D-tuna sticks out pretty far. 

 

[Tom.Clips]

Hopefully it should be right with the setup.

All that rock look and vintage frets?

Do yourself a favor and get stainless steel frets, even if you don't go with modern, sensible frets.

 

[Tom.Clips]

Stainless steel, of course! Forgot to throw that in the description. I'm somewhat torn between the size 100 frets and the vintage frets. I press hard on the frets, and I've read somewhere vintage frets are good for that, but then again, the 100 size frets, I believe which are the size SRV used, to look quite tasty for bends and pull offs etc....
