Had the urge to build a black Strat with a 1-piece Maple Neck.
Decided to go full custom, so went with a lightweight Mahogany body, hardtail Hipshot bridge and a set of Bareknuckle Pickups I had lying around.
Instead of the standard black, I opted for the Holoflake finish.
The neck is a 1-piece 3A Birdseye Vintage Modern construction, with 6115 SS frets, straight 12.5" radius, '59 profile (my favorite!) and a nice vintage tint Satin finish. The inlays are Moonglow. I would have gone for white MOP, but since I'm outside the US, there were export restrictions on this.
Pretty happy with the mockup! The quality of the body and neck are superb! Can't wait to bring this project to my luthier to get this together!
The Holoflake looks like the night sky (pics don't really show how nice the sparkle is... in person it's much sparklier...) :icon_jokercolor:
