We're nearing the end everyone!
Coming along lovely so far. 🖤
Very sleek and simple, are we going to keep it that way?
Sorry, no HSH or HSS configurations will be available on this build.
Final routing type will depend upon actual pickup selection poll results (if active emg neck single coil routing vs standard neck strat single coil routing, for example).
You can change your selection up to the last moment.
Ties will result in a runoff poll.
This Poll will close in 3 days.

You forgot to put cosmo black bridge/tuners/hardware in the specs...cuz no way were not having cosmo black right? :cool: 🆒:checkthisout:

And Gotoh tuners so they match. The mini 510s are killer.

Hardware finish poll is last.
Personally love cosmo black, but believed it would be better to select hardware finish after body finish.
Yes, I will be sticking with Gotoh.
 
As much as I think I might never know when I wish I had a neck pickup, I realize I never use the ones in my guitars. Just for occasional kicks. Plus I don’t like the look of two pickups with 24 frets. Looks crowded. So single Hum for a sleak, mean, ready to rock look. Figure you can always have someone route a slot later if you have to.

I would like to plant the seed of chrome hardware if the body color is light/pale (vintage white, or soft pastel etc) and Black hardware if the body color is dark.
