Hey guys, my third (and last for a long time) warmoth is coming together. I wanted a reasonably priced strat with a few custom options, mainly I just wanted it to stay in tune as well as my teles. So I went for an angled strat head, graphite nut and it'll have these tuners: http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Tuners/Guitar,_solid_peghead_tuners/1/Gotoh_Mini_510_Locking_Tuners/Pictures.html#details - in gold.
It was a sale neck, birdseye maple / indian rw, standard thin, 6130s.
Body was a pretty normal alder body, 4.3 lb, goldtop finish, brand new off of ebay at a good discount. Routed for vintage strat, I'm going for the wilkinson vsvg: http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Bridges,_tailpieces/Electric_guitar_tremolos/Wilkinson_Gotoh_VSVG_Vintage_Tremolo.html - also in gold.
questions I need advice for: I can't decide on the pickguard - this white one is for another guitar I'm working on. I can't decide whether black / white / black or tortoise would work best. white pearloid is a distant third choice, maybe. Second question, where do you go for nice truss rod covers? I'm thinking it should be rosewood to match the fretboard, or black w/white binding if I get a black pickguard. Any suggestions?
Pups, i'm going all true single coil, either fralin blues specials or rio grande vintage tallboys. Any idea the dc resistance of those talboys? Or a recommendation on kent armstrongs - which variety, where to buy?
Thanks
