Yes I know I am trying to finish 2 builds ( and there are others planned), but I have an itch that needs to be scratched. Mary Kaye strat. I'll bullet ideas / questions
* thinking universal route. Why? Not sure what pups may go in. A part of me say Strat SCs, another part P90s. Either way, parchment covers
* thinking Hipshot vibrato. Have read good things about them. I want a glossy gold ( which the VS 100 doesn't have). I know the Recessed Wilkinson route is best for it, but haven't been able to verify that the Wilkinson stud holes are the right size for the Hipshot studs. Also anyone have experience between their Contoured vs Flat Base models?
* gold pickguard, not anodized, but instead clear plexi back painted gold (think Gretsch guard or search here for Rusty)
* gold Hipshot open locking tuners
* parchment plastics
* neck - I am torn on this between canary/canary vs pau ferro/pau ferro . I wish I could find my Photoshop disc so I could mock this up
Thoughts?
