Here are the first pictures of the raw body and neck.

2 piece Indian Rosewood Stratocaster body, rear routed
Indian Rosewood neck, Ebony fingerboard, pearloid Celtic Cross inlays
I went with chrome Planet Waves auto trim tuners, the LSR roller nut, black metal mounting rings for all three pickups (all low profile metal), a Schaller 475 flat bridge, chrome flat top knobs (dome type are providing the general feel until I can find flat tops that will accommodate a 1/4" solid shaft), and flatted chrome on on on switches (series/single coil/parallel).
Pickups are white with black rails/polepieces:
DiMarzio D Activator Neck
DiMarzio Chopper Middle
DiMarzio D Activator Bridge
I'm thinking of an oil finish (Liberon Finishing Oil, is what my luthier suggested) on both body and neck. Going to try to get it to the luthier within the week for the extra drilling and some of the hardware installation (tuning machines, nut, and bridge); I'm hoping he can do the finish and the installation in a reasonably short period of time. Will post progress pics when I have more.
