I built this Fireburst Strat with a showcase body and neck:
Body: Chambered Swamp Ash with Flame Maple top. Contoured heel. Fireburst finish with trans red back.
Neck: Vintage Modern. Goncalo Alves with Kingwood fret board. Standard thin, 6150 frets, Graph Tech TUSQ nut.
Hardware: GFS Brass block trem with Graph Tech String Saver classic saddles. Schaller locking tuners.
Electronics: Fender Eric Johnson pickup set, master volume only.
My 2nd chambered Swamp Ash with Maple top body and I really like the tone. Swamp Ash alone can be a little scooped sounding for my taste but the chambers add a nice warmth to it. The Goncalo Alves neck helps bring out some nice mids also. I usually go for hotter pickups but with the warm wood tones the Fender EJ set is excellent
