After just recently finishing my first assembly (including wiring and staining), I decided not to slow down and just finished specing out/purchasing everything for round 2 (which due to financial reasons will also be the last round for a long while 
).
I've played many types of guitars, you name it I've probably tried the body shape, but I just really find stratocaster bodies to have the highest level of comfort for the type of playing I do.... so, this will be my 2nd strat and I'm going pretty much vintage all the way with it.
Specs:
Warmoth Alder vintage white top routed body
Warmoth white/black/white pickguard (S-S-S) - 6 hole white temolo cover
White or black strat knobs - haven't decided - ordered both
Gotoh Vintage 6 hole tremolo
Allparts 1 piece maple V neck w/ graphite nut (nitro finish, 1 5/8"nut, 7 1/4" radius, 21 frets)
Vintage tuners (chrome)
Chrome jack and neck plate.
Electronics/pups:
Seymour Duncan antiquity texas hot single coils (RWRP middle, hot bridge)
Rothstein Voodoo tone wiring (holvand cap) w/ push-pull for neck on & passive midrange control
Will do the rest of the wiring and assembly myself.
My biggest concern is the neck. I've spent hours at stores and online trying to determine what direction I wanted to go. I really like the 50's neck feel and V shape. The radius feels fine everytime I play a neck with it, but I'm used to 10-12" radius necks so we'll see. I think once I hear it I'll completely forget about any neck concerns I had... we'll see how bends are limited - I didn't experience much limitation in testing out the radius.
Will post pics when it's done - probably 1-2 weeks by the time everything arrives and I get around to soldering.
