Congrats!

Very nice, it has a lot in common with a Warmouth partscaster I built a while back. Including one volume, one tone, SS frets, compound radius, contoured heel, battery box just in case I ever need it.
You need to get the battery box installed, Warmouth sells it.
It's a beauty.

Very pretty. The satin rosewood should feel good against your hand too.
I'm not familiar with that Wilkinson trem bridge, though - does it keep tuning well?

Thank you! It has a very versatile tone but I intend to use it for the heavier stuff. I have my Am Spl Strat with the CS Texas Specials that I use for the bluesy stuff. But the Warmoth handles blues very well too.

I have always wanted a Dave Murray signature Strat but doubt I can ever justify the dough for one. I also would love to own the now-discontinued Billy Corgan Strat. This Warmoth is a substitute for both really. It is very close to what Dave Murray actually plays now save for the Floyd Rose trem he has on his Strats. (The Corgan Strat was a stoptail.)

Thank you! I do need to get a battery box even if it is empty for awhile. Yes, it is a "just in case" option. In my case; just in case I add a Piezo pup making it similar to a Parker Fly - yet another guitar I admire but can't afford!

You are right: I guess I should call my Warmoth a "Partscaster" as it is not truly a Strat! Will make that change.

Thank you! Wilkinson saddles, bridges and trems are made by Gotoh. It is a two-point like the newer Fender "modern" two-point bridges (but better) and I think comparable to the Callahams, SuperVees and Bladerunners. It keeps tune very well with the staggered saddles, graphite nut and locking tuners. I am not a crazy dive-bombing whammy user and don't care for Floyd Rose locking trems so this was a good sub.

The rosewood neck feels awesome!

I wouldn't say "cheating", I'd say "respectful".
