I'd been thinking about this particular build for some time now but had originally planned to use an Ash body/rosewood fingerboard, but as Ads posted a deal too good to pass up the other night, we're now waiting on a ST-1M (basswood body/maple neck).
I've ordered some nice flame maple veneer for the top which will be bound in white pearl then stained "Nullarbor Ochre" Dingotone with a natural back and neck finished in DT clear.
Headstock will be identical to the "Bladecatcher" bar the chrome tuners and finished in Nitro clear.
Purists turn away now, I'll be making some pretty major changes to the classic Strat outline with an angled cut on the back of the body and a horn re-shape.
I spent a bit of time in Photoshop knocking together a rough concept, but I guess we'll see what happens as the build progresses.
