I just remembered that I had a guitar body and neck amongst all my stuff, the neck is a Mighty Mite 22 Fret Strat-style neck I bought online as a replacement for the neck on my Mexican Fender Strat but ended up not using, it has been routed to accept a Floyd Rose Locking Nut.
The body is apparently an 80's Charvel Jackson and has a bridge humbucker rout and a single-coil rout in it, here's what I would like to do to turn the neck and body into a functional and playable guitar.
1, Completely strip all the finish off the body down to bare wood.
2, Plug any unwanted holes in the control cavity so I only have holes for a master volume pot, a tone pot and a pickup switch.
3, Re-rout the neck pickup routing to fit a humbucking pickup so that the guitar uses two humbuckers.
4, Possibly deepen the neck pocket so that the neck sits at the right depth for string height adjustment.
5, Fit a Floyd Rose Bridge to the body, might just involve drilling out the bridge
post holes to the correct size.
6, Re-finish the body in a solid colour, maybe Metallic Blue.
7. Make new control cavity and trem spring cavity covers.
8. Fit a Floyd Rose Locking Nut to the neck.
9, Fit some good quality sealed machine heads to the neck.
10, Fit two good pickups to the body, maybe a couple of zebra Entwistles.
11, Fit neck to body.
12, Install two Ernie Ball Strap locks.
13, Put some good strings on the guitar and set up the guitar.
Here's a pic of the neck and the body:
