    You're a builder, and you decide to borrow one idea from the Strat

    You are a guitar builder, and you have a truly original design. But you love Strats and although your build is a different style of guitar, you decide to borrow one idea incorporated into the Strat.

    What would you choose?

    It's okay if another builder has used it before. If you'd make sure your build would have that feature, it's all good. I chose the curve on the outside of the elbow cut because I like the shape of that curve so much. Could have said the curves of the body, just got more specific.

    This is not unique to only the Stratocaster, but I'd go for the straight string geometry all the way to the machine heads.

    Putting the reverb tank in the guitar.

    Five way switch with P90s? You mean you'd put 3 p90s in the guitar?
