This guitar needs a chunky maple neck from the finest grade, AAAA to be precise. Outfitted with abalone dots, 22 6105 frets, rolled edges and Schaller staggered lockers.

As for the pickguard, you can't go wrong with an SSS type in 3-ply aged white pearloid or HSS in 4-ply black pearl.

How about a Lonestar configuration with two Texas Specials and a Duncan Pearly Gates Plus hooked into a super 5-way megapole switch, a passive circuit with master volume, TBX tone and a blender pot and Mini Floyd Rose bridge assembly with an LSR Roller Nut? Let your imagination decide!

I'm looking to sell it, that's why there's no finish on it yet. What would a setup like that cost?

Very nice I would put a rosewood neck on it and a clear pick guard with joe barden p/u,s and then play the hell out of it.

Very nice!!! I think a rosewood neck would look best, but that's just me.

Could you give a little more info on the body itself? What kind of wood? Was it made by you from scratch or did you start out with an aftermarket body? Are you certain the neck route is correct for a USA Strat Neck? Depth etc... Really interested in something like this myself. :wink:

Good looking job done well. What type of clear finish.

I'm told that the wood is "high grade Poplar" I bought it on line from Guitar Fetish and as far as I know all the routing is correct. I don't play guitar, just decorate them for re-sale. In fact, this is the first Guitar I've ever done.

If I'm measuring correctly, the neck depth is 5/8 inch

I didn't apply any finish to allow the buyer to add or alter the routing as they see fit. Plus, they can apply the type of finish they like best.
