Hollow Stratmaster

Here's my latest ongoing project.
I have had this since I helped the Robert(og) move out. He made the body and I'm in the process of actually completing it.
Here goes:
Jazzy Trem and Bridge
Hollow strat body
Knock-off Neck (which will be replaces with a dots-and-binding neck eventually)
No pickguard or pickups yet, but here's what I'm thinking:
I have a pair of lipstick tube pickups from GFS. I'm gonna wire it up as such: Bridge & Neck with a stacked pot for master volume and tone, a 3-way switch and output all on the guard.
Here's what I still need to decide: the color. I have, so far, a tort guard and a white guard. What color should I paint it?
Suggestions?

Pics not expanding for me. The guitar looks great... love the concept.
White and Gold Ano would be nice.

Looks beautiful, but this is the first time I've actually got a JPEG stuck in my eye.

I have a GFS lipstick in the bridge of my Bighead strat and it's marvelous. Not what it says on the tin, but better than most similarly priced and clearly-marked strat tins.

that is fuckin sweet its like the strat version of this:
the lipsicks idea is also rather good. do an stealth pickup in the middle position and split pearloid burns style scratch plate like this:

Great concept, check out Cole Clark guitars in Australia they make a model that is really similar.
