All I will say for now is that this is the first piece, the body will be here next week... :icon_biggrin:

It'll surely have a custom neck plate, but probably not a truss rod cover, since it'll have a strat headstock... :toothy11:
 
Is that a piece of black anodized brushed aluminum? Looks real nice, in any event.
 
Perhaps it'll be based off of one of these album covers

Not just any aluminum body, it's a leftover NOS from the Fender custom shop run in '94..
 
Very drooool, I mean coooool :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright:
I see similar aluminum bodies on flea bay every now and then and have always wanted to try one out.
I will definitely be tuned in for further adventures.  Keep the pics a rollin'

Nice catch! That ought to be fun!
Yip, I'm thinking lot's-o-fun...  Done a lot of reading about the fender aluminum bodies, and from what they say, there's nothing that compares..

Those sound pretty sweet, but I might get Ken from Roadhouse to conjure me up a set...

Damn straight! Haven't tried Kens, but the Lollars were way worth it when I had a set. Best sounding strat pickups I've used to date. I should get a set of them... or three...  :help:

Man, I LOVE the pickups Ken did for the Black Dog tele.  I would try a set of his strat pickups in a heartbeat. 
He will make em custom to what ever sound you are looking for; at a fraction of the cost.
Ken's work will defiantly be on my next build.
