Maple neck, 70s stock etc.
Also clean as opposed to a pile of crap.

Painted headstocks on strats always make me think of shitty Marlins from the 80s. If youre going to do that you might as well put a FR and a locking nut on it. The blackout/maple combo is dead sexy though.

I think they look better with lighter colours with a rosewood fretboard.
FUCK SOME MATCHING STOCK ON MAPLEZ!

Definitely look better on rosewood than maple.

Hurb is gonna route the scratchplate for the pickup holes for me because he is AUWHSOUMZ.
All I need to pick up is a 3-way that I'm fairly certain they do in the craft shop, or at least the geetar shop and I'm there!

I apologise in advance for the breadcrumb trail of boring slight alteration photos leading up to the finished thing. I have nothing better to do.

Lovely socks. I too say no to matching headstocks; also, I'd have the switch where the volume control is - looks better, and less in the way, I reckon.
I am however, only too aware of what a fun process design by comittee can be, so ignore away.

I photoshopped my way through all the different layouts 2 volumes and a 3-way could have- I just know I'd be forever knocking the 3-way if I put it in the "top".
And in the middle ala the SX P90 Strats just seems like it'd be hard to get at quickly, spesh for killswitching.

This is a such a great thread because modding a strat is such an everyman project.
yea, the black guard w/ black everything looks much better in real life than it does on paper (er... monitor?). theres an old 70s strat in a local shop here that is like that and it looks so sweet. I'm strongly considering it for my guitar.

PUPS ARE HERE!
The scratchy still has the plastic on, I actually love the look that shade of grey gives the guitar, gonna try and find a similar colour spray paint in town today.
The neck pup is definately gonna be a bit on the close side to the edg of the scratchy, but I'm not too worried really- they mount to the body, so it's not gonna be putting any strain on the thin slice left on the side.
