Yeah, that looks great. Is there another thread on this project?
I'm assuming those are some sort of PAFs. What about neck/body?
I would love to hear what this thing sounds like. I'm not a fan of widerangers myself, so I actually love this j-blaster as an alternative to the Lee Ranaldo.

this is actually an old old project that has been passed around A LOT:

the pups are "fender hot alnico humbuckers" from a blacktop strat that I loved the sound of but rebuilt as a vintagey strat for the guitarist in my band
this has a different bridge and slightly different pickup spacing but there are tons of videos that show the approximate tonez just search "blacktop strat"
