Update:
This coming Tuesday I'm going to be buying some stuff so that I can finally get the Custom HotRod Strat body finished, now there's going to be some revisions to what I have planned for this particular guitar build, here's what I'm planning on doing now:
* Install a Black Schaller Lockmeister Floyd Rose Bridge and Locking-Nut (Chrome ones are currently out of stock, hence the change to Black).
* Install a set of Black Tuners.
* Install either a White, or White Pearloid Scratchplate/Pickguard.
* Install 3 Black Knobs (Volume and two Tones).
* Install a Black Pickup Selector-Switch Tip.
* Install a Chrome 4-Screw Neck Plate.
* Install a Black, or White Trem Spring cover.
* Install a set of Ernie Ball Strap Locks.
* Install a Chrome Output Jack Plate.
Body Finish:
The body finish is still going to be a solid Metallic Blue colour, but will be clear-coated with some White Knight Clear Gloss Lacquer.
Neck:
I'm still going to be using the same 22-Fret Rosewood Mighty Mite neck I was originally planning to use.
Pickups:
I've decided to do some shopping around for some decent-quality pickups to install in my Custom Hotrod Strat, I'm still going with a Humbucker/Single-Coil/Single-Coil configuration, if any of you guys would like to post your recommendations for pickups, please feel free to do so.
Update:
I think I have figured out which type of pickups I will install in my HotRod Strat, I'm seriously thinking of going with a set of Seymour Duncans, how does this sound to you, guys?:
Neck Pickup: Seymour Duncan SCR-1N Cool Rails Strat Neck.
Middle Pickup: Seymour Duncan SCR-1N Cool Rails Strat Neck.
Bridge Pickup: Seymour Duncan TB-6 Duncan Distortion Trembucker.

Update:
Okay, I've got the Metallic Blue spray paint I'm going to use to spray paint the HotRod Strat body, here's a pic so you can see the colour:
I also have some Maple Timbermate which I'll be using as the grain-filler on the body, prior to coating it with wood primer and spray painting it....progress is being made.

good stuff Doc, it's a pretty greyish blue (going by the cap colour) , good thing is you can change the colour as you go as it's a bit different to the blue colour above. Just stick to the same brand/type of paint

I agree, it's a bit of a grey-ish blue kind of colour, I really tried very hard to find a good Metallic Blue but that's the only one they had in stock that was suitable for use on wood, not to worry cause it does work with a white, or white Pearloid Scratchplate, it might go a bit darker with the clear coating though.
