Fair enough. This addiction can very easily prove quite costly if we ticked everything on a wishlist.

It looks a little more like this now.
I've got 2 more finals on the neck and then I'll actually have to find some PUPs for it!
Edit: rSimon, I have reshaped the upper horn, rest easy, it’s just not shown in this earlier pic.

No, I just matte sanded the existing black scratchplate. It was all too shiny for me.Originally Posted by wazkelly

Single coil set recommendations, blues/rock/jazz stylings with attempted leaps into Hendrix-esque trippiness........
.....and go!

Checkout the Tonerider website for their Strat PUPs as they have really good video sound clips to help you choose.

I’m loving my Tonerider City Limits set, covers those bases well for me.
Had a rethink on this, the Korean ST Pups have gone into this one and the toneriders into the Korean ST.
Have doweled the Headstock, as there was a serious string/tuner alignment issue. More to follow.

So....this had sat for a bit while one fo the earlier experiments took shaping precedence. As of last week both this and Experiment 2 were at wiring stage.
Having not wired anything for a bit, I hit this one first as it’s a standard simple 3P, 5WS, 1V, 2T Strat.
I really like how that ironwood board came up, it plays nice in the hands, but there may be some adjustments needed. 1st fret height is spot on but there’s some silliness down at 21.
TR is cranked a bit to see if that brings it back, there was some bow taking up once the strings went on, so it’s going to be a while settling down.
Nearly There!
