Just ordered the body and neck:
Stratocaster® Replacement Guitar Body
Construction: Chambered
Core Wood: Alder
Lam Top Wood: Alder
Control Cavity: Top Rout, HSH, no F-Holes
Jack Rout: 7/8" (22mm), Side
Bridge Rout Type: Tremolo Bridge, Wilkinson VS100
Standard 4-Bolt Neck Pocket, Strat® Shape
Body Contours: Forearm Contour, Tummy Cut, Custom Contoured Heel
Black Binding
Battery: Single (just in case I want an active boost later)
Paint: Gloss Metallic White Pearl Front and Back
Stratocaster® Replacement Guitar Neck
Vintage/Modern
Roasted Flame Maple Shaft and Fretboard
Nut Width1-11/16" (43mm) - Modern Medium
Neck Back Profile: D
Fretboard Radius: 9.5" - 14" Compound
22 Frets Size, SS6115 - Wide & Tall (Stainless)
Tuner Hole Size: Schaller/Modern Fender/Sperzel (25/64")
Standard Dots, Cream; Side Dots Luminlay w/ White
Standard Nut - GraphTech Black TUSQ XL
Standard 4-Bolt Neck, Strat® Heel Shape
Painted Headstock (off-menu option!)
Visually, this will be “white tie and tails” - all white body with black binding, white headstock, black hardware including pickups. Not sure yet if the pickguard will be white or black. I picked an HSH configuration because I don’t have one and I’m intrigued by it; easy enough to convert to HSS if the HSH doesn’t work out, but I’m really more interested in the humbucker tones here, especially some of the lower-output PAF-style such as the Suhr Thornbucker I/II, the Fralin Unbucker, and others. One of the Free-Way 10-way blade switches has all of the pickup switching configurations I’m interested in, so this won’t be a wiring nightmare.
It will be a few months before everything arrives, but I’ll keep this thread updated as I make decisions about pickups and other hardware, and have a full-fledged build thread when everything is here. Fun fun fun!
