Well I just finished this and thought I'd share it with you all.
2 piece alder hardtail body I finished in Sonic Blue using Reranch nitro lacquer, Warmoth compound radius neck with Braz RW board/clay dots, Lindy Fralin Vintage Hot pickups.
Plays awesome and sounds beautiful. I modeled it off a late '59 Strat (minus the compound radius, of course)!
