It's completed.  Forgive the volume knobs, they are temporary.  Anyone know where I can get nice chrome ones or have a suggestion what would look/feel great?

Beautiful! And the Floyd Rose looks really cool on a Strat :icon_thumright:

Very nice job! I like it!

If it were me looking for chrome knobs, I like these...

...from Guitar Fetish. There are a number of other styles available from them in chrome as well.

Welcome aboard, thanks for sharing the Unboxing and pics.

Congratulations on the guitar. I remember that body in the showcase, very nice piece of Koa.

Anyway I did wonder if it would show up on here and it has.
