Hi. I'm a long-time lurker and this is my first post.

I just finished this about a month ago and finally got around to taking some pics of it. I used the following parts.

Warmoth Total Vintage Strat neck (roasted flame maple w/ 9.5" radius & SS6150 frets), white pearl pickguard and backplate
Fender Am Std body (Jade finish), Am Std vintage bridge, neck plate and locking tuners
Custom-made milled steel trem block from a member of the Strat Talk forum
Graph Tech Black Tusq nut and string trees
Seymour Duncan pickups (Twang Banger and two SSL-1s)
Mojotone electronics (super-switch, 275K pots, PIO caps, volume mod)
Callaham '64 length trem arm and spring claw
Schaller strap locks
Raw Vintage springs
Stainless steel screws for everything

Pictures really don't do it justice. It plays and sounds great. The only thing I still need to do is get it into a reputable tech for a fret level to get the action were I really want it. There aren't any in my area and the shop that I had the setup done at was unwilling to do it. Looks like I'm making a road trip!


 
I don't think I've ever seen that green before - the jade paint, the white pearl pickguard and roasted maple neck and come together really well.  Nice choices!

Warmoth's pewter finish looks similar to this. It really is more olive than jade colored but that's what Fender decided call it.
 
That's beautiful. I love the color and the way that neck compliments it. Nicely done.
