The strat's coming along well and looking nice, I'm looking at buying myself an ST-1M kit in the near future and I'm planning on spray-painting it metallic red, also planning on getting the gold hardware upgrade option and the pearloid scratchplate option too so it'll probably look like a fancy Hank Marvin strat once I'm done.
That will look sweet DrNomis

Yeah, my next build will be totally Dingotone, I am a little put off nitro finishes after this experience. In saying that I really really wanted lake placid blue nitro for this build

That colour is pretty damn special. Worth all the effort.
'As long as there's, you know, sex and drugs, I can do without the rock and roll.'
Weekend update:
1. Tremolo fitted (PGB standard)
2. Neck squared using string measurements and bolted on (it was actually almost perfect except for a small gap at the end of the heel which it always had);
3. Pearloid pick guard modified to fit and holes drilled;
4. Shielding of cavities finished;
4. Switchcraft jack fitted and jackplate holes drilled;
5. Tonerider Vintage Pups fitted nicely into pearloid pick guard.
Sneak preview of what the total effect will look like.

Coming along nicely.
Looking great. Love a white pearloid scratchplate on a blue strat. Great combo. Interested to see this beastly all assembled!
cheers,
Gav.
