that would be the one (was knee-deep in my Bookmarks folder at the time)

No production guitars that I know of have an all black, single bucker hardtail/stringthrough body unfortunately... If you guys know of any, I'll listen!
Thanks for the help so far. Yes it's a tight budget, but that's all I could realistically get.

Hehe sorry I meant strat ;)

Maybe there's no way, it's true. I'll see what I can get or if I can get it all progressively, or sell more stuff.

Does Feline guitars do individual bodies or necks?

Yes we do and it may be a good way to get the basics if you can't find one anywhere else.
Basic prices on custom bodies etc
Bare wood body £150
Paint finish £170
Neck £250-350

What age is your Kramer ?
Is it an old USA one or one of the recent (music-yo) ones?

Be only too happy help you out
We can get all the WD parts for the same price as you would direct as well
We also keep all your favourite pickups too and can help guide you
Drop me a PM and we will chat about it all
Or call me - number on the website

It's a 1986 Stagemaster standard. Single bucker, OFR... GREAT state. Great guitar too. I prefer bolt ons haha...
170 PLUS body price for a painted body then..? I'll see if I ever can afford it :P This is just a plan for a good guitar this summer that I probably will need someday, but I have none of the funds in. It's my birthday this summer though so I may be able to get some stuff then. Thanks! Basically all I'd need would be hardware and painted body and neck. Electronics and pickups I have.

Music Man Sub1, single pickup, hardtail?

Not the easiest thing to track down, but should come in under budget and has a peach of a neck. The textured finish is quite groovy too. I was all set to buy one myself, but it sold about an hour before I got to the shop with money...

That's a great idea! I always loved this guitar haha! Man I totally forgot about this. Thanks! I'll be on the lookout for one!

BAAAHA you guys are right.
I'll go for a standard MIM Strat that I'd have played before and found comfy, maybe go for a Custom neck, replace the pickguard et voila, instant light, good looking not so expensive gigging guitar.

Good idea - they are well made guitars
We recently had Afghan Dave's one in for a refret and it was a fab guitar
It was one of the light ash strats.
Played great and sounded fab - with BKPs
We put Dunlop 6000 wire on it - what a great rock guitar!!

The Light ash is Korean though. But yeah I played one and it really was a GOOD guitar. I was very impressed. The neck was so comfortable too, I loved this V! It's too buttery for a strat though with the APSII. Another sound, but very beautiful.
