I would like some constructive criticism on my spec sheet for this build..I normally keep it simple and use used Fender bodies and necks ..This time i'm thinking of going aftermarket on the body and neck and need some suggestions on what vendor to use and the quality of parts i'm thinking of using..

As far as the body goes i ran across this on ebay ..

But i'm not familiar with the vendor but i do like the idea of the swimming pool route ..Which may allow me to go with a G&L MFD loaded pickguard.Along with the fact it is USA made.

I then found this body made by Mighty Mite..But i'm not sure of the quality of Mighty Mite bodies or where there made..I believe it is American swamp ash..I love the way this body looks..Tis is not the vendor i'm using but they have a better picture and spec sheet..I found this body priced at $149.99

The neck is a dilemma i would like to find a a reverse head stock with a ebony fretboard but so far my search has not turned one up..
Failing that i would like to find a 70's large headstock once again with a Ebony fret board..
If i can't find either i will go with a 70's large headstock birds eye maple on maple..

For Bridge/Tremolo i will be using a Callaham vintage tremolo and block..Why vintage i'm a huge Robin Trower fan and as he says its the way a Strat should be..

The tuners will more than likely be either vintage split or Sperzel Trim lok..

The nut i'm thinking LSR or Graphtech im not sure here any suggestions would be appreciated..

As far as pickups it will either have vintage G&L MFD's but more than likely it will be a Suhr V50LP (vintage 50's Low output) Neck, Suhr V60LP Reverse Wound Mid and a Suhr SSV in the bridge..

The wiring will be using the same specs as a Strat ultra allowing me to split the humbucker..Which will give me all the standard Strat positions in both single coil and humbucker ..Then the added position of all three pickups simultaneously in both single coil and humbucker along with neck and bridge in both single coil and humbucker..

Well lets hear it. I'm open to any and all suggestion on any of the components ..If there is a product that is in the same price range you feel is better shout it out. I will most defiantly look it up and consider it..Thanks
