Simon's Frankenstrat EVH tribute guitar

[Andyxlh]

I love this guitar, and Simon's playing too!
Now, I'm a bassist so my guitar playing is pretty dopey. But I love the frankenstrat so I'm going have a go at making my own over the next 6 months or so. An early Xmas prezzy of a strat kit with 2 piece ash body and maple neck has set me on the way. I don't think it is a pit bull kit as it doesn't have the sticker or decal.
Things to do first...
1. Convert the h s h body into the correct pickup holes
2. Pull the 22nd fret, fill the hole and reshape the base of the neck to a Tele shape to make sure that it doesn't fit correctly like the real one!
3. Fit locking nut to neck.... this is the bit I'm worried about!
