New Build: Vintage Strat body or Strat replacement body

[automator]

Hey guys,

I am brand new to building guitars. This may be a stupid question, but what is the difference between the Vintage Stratocaster Bodies and the replacement Stratocaster bodies on the Warmoth site.

I am looking to build something with a vintage feel, common sense says I would be going with the Vintage body, but just wanted to check with you guys on what the differences are between the two body types. From looking at the page it seems like the vintage bodies are just built for the vintage tremolo(6 hole) and the the replacement Stratocaster bodies have many more customization options.

Thanks,

Scroll to the bottom of the below pages and the descriptions will tell you more.

The vintage is 6 screw trem or hardtail options, shallow pickup routs, shallow trem rout, deeper belly cut contours. The other, more modern one gives many more available options.
