It's official, I'm building a strat. I know nothing about Strats (wiring/pickups, etc...) but I've been gasin' for a while now. It will have a 2008 American Standard Strat neck courtesy of Mr (Jimi) Far Rider and I'll be buying the body from Warmoth. I'm thinking a Swamp ash core, Black Korina top, Wilkinson Trem. I'll do an oil finish like on my tele (no plastic pickguard crap ) and with the rear control route I can put the knobs where I want them..
But I actually have been thinking maybe I might end up doing a solid Swamp ash body, but I'm not sure, I really like the look of that black korina with the oil finish, but an all swamp ash might sound better...???...I don't know yet.
I have an 80s vintage Dimarzio Super Distortion (thanks to Johnfv) I'm planning for the bridge, but I have no clue about the middle and neck single coils so I'm hoping you guys can school me.
