Well i have just received my kit and on inspection i am very impressed, a straight neck that fits snugly into the body, great finish to the body, and nice hardware.
i will be using a twin humbucker setup and am trying to clone the big apple strat setup with my wiring.
The only difference is that i have 2 push pulls on the tone pots to switch from series to parrallel on separate pickups.
The pickups are the HOT RODDED HUMBUCKER SET the JB and Jazz Models, SH-4/SH-2 SET.
Mmmm Tasty SD goodness, what are the plans for body and neck finish? Will it be a traditional Strat headstock or are you going customised?

Yea mate, just like wokkaboy said, some of the decription is in my welcome but i will post it here....Originally Posted by FrankenWashie
"I will customise the guitar......Chose the grover tuners but no pickups. I have got a twin matching set of Seymour Duncan Jazz humbuckers to fit into a white pearloid pickguard.
I will paint the body with a deep pearl electric blue, with black hardware. Think it will look ok as a solid colour as there is not much grain in the basswood body. I will light stain and clearcoat the neck, the headstock will be reshaped and painted blue to match the body.
thanks...
Hey Mitch the SD pups look great on the white pearloid pickguard

You're right about the SD's in the white pick guard. Makes me want to build a strat...maybe set up for slide playing....hmmm...
