I've been buying fabulous Warmoth guitar necks since the previous millenium, but somehow I never managed to complete a guitar 
(lame excuse: too much moving from country to country).
Around a half-dozen years ago I did manage to put together one very nice five-string Gecko bass (for a one-off show).
And I've had a short-scale 4-string neck & body sitting in the boxes, with all the hardware and electronics ready to go ... for a couple of years now.
(Very possibly I will finally get that one assembled this year!)
But DEFINITELY, I will be assembling this 7/8th strat this autumn:
I've developed a bit of a fetish for pointy headstock superstrats in recent years (since stumbling onto a nice Carvin) but a couple months ago I sold off my three Jacksons, so I am now in dire need of something with "24 frets and a trem"! (I do have a strat with a reverse tele headstock, but it's only got 22 frets...)
Anyway, this one ticks all the boxes for me, and will be equipped with a couple of vintage humbuckers and a Kahler flatmount trem (and the 'no-tools' Kahler Pro Lock behind-the-nut string lock)...
Pics in the autumn... (build estimate was 16-17 weeks)
