I'm really interested in seeing how this whole project pans-out, so I'm going to keep following this thread, I think that once all the work has been finished the FrankenWashie will look great, I managed to successfully complete my HotRod Strat project and have posted a pic of what it looks like, feel free to check it out mate, the ting I'm most pleasantly surprised about the HotRod Strat project is how stable the tuning is, I gave the HotRod's Floyd Rose trem a good workout last night while playing the guitar through my Digitech RP50, and the tuning stayed rock-solid, I must have fluked it or something, I dunno, but I'm happy with it, just need to change out the current pickups for some better ones, cause I think one of them is a bit microphonic, and the tone gets real harsh and brittle when I play the guitar through my Marshall's boosted overdrive channel, there also seems to be excessive bass in the tone too, so it gets a bit farty at very high gain settings, I'm looking at going with a couple of Kent Armstrong Dual Blades, and a Tonerider Rocksong.
When you come to set up the Floyd Rose on your guitar, if you need any help, let me know mate.
