So with some part of my Warmoth order on the way as my UPS email told me, I'm ready to start diving into the tricky parts of my project. I'm trying to get a neck plate with a customized serial number to show my birthdate: 091783
I've also considered buying a parted out vintage strat with a true serial number, just to give my project a little extra feeling. I'm a sap for vintage, so to have the real deal would be amazing, but people are asking RIDICULOUS prices I would never fathom paying.
