    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.
