I always liked that shape, one of the better Strat varations.  retty similar to Suhr and Tom Anderson.

Ive actually got a little bit of an update on this.

I got an email from Chris @ bowfinishing. Thanks Jonathan for the recommendation!

He said its almost ready now and im super excited.

heres a pic of the clear coating almost finished.

Now i need to decide on the rest of the bits. So far ive decided the bridge will be a kahler that im grabbing from fellow forumite jacksonrr!

I got a 560 body from OutOfThisSwirld, the finish itself was perfect (clear coated) but the finish was so thick that none of the parts or neck actually fitted so I had to return it! I think that was a one off though and the chap refunded me no problems.

That sucks Lew.

This one wasn't clear coated and the finish itself isnt overly thick so i'll be fine luckily.

it also seems that OOTS arent closing now. It could be something to do with the mini swirl craze i appear to have started on the MG forum

Yea, it was a one off I'm sure. Mind me asking how much the greenswirl set you back?

edit:this is the one I bought http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-H3ITvSFvE&feature=related

That's good, it was a shame to see them closing.  Well done!  :)

it's not definite but its looking more and more likely.

I do agree it would be a shame.

I think purple pickups would look good.  There's something about green and purple as a combo...



But definitely black hardware.
