Super Strat handily beat everything in the first poll selection, though may do another in the near future matching up the V and Explorer. ?
In the mean time; let's get a bit more specific.
Note that neck/fingerboard woods, flame/quilt tops or just paint/stain will be available in later polls, focusing only on main body wood for now.
Choose one from each category (Specific body shape AND wood selection)
I'm allowing you to change your vote in case you accidentally select the wrong choice.
Poll closes in 24 hours.

Honduran Mahogany, but a close 2nd (maybe 1st depending what flavor you want) would be port Orford cedar (a type of cypress) for more brightness, zing and clarity

It's also really important imo to use shellac finish, possibly with the initial coat being egg white. No nitro, poly, or oil. Don't skimp on finish to compromise the effect of good tone woods

Not a fan of basswood at all. Maple could be very nice for it if roasted

Just wanted to give you a heads up; Don't forget to pick the more specific body shape (top 3 in the poll), not just wood choice.
 
Why isn’t there a variant with my shape? ?

And what is difference between san dimas and dinky/soloist?

Also where black limba body? ?

I'm not sure what you mean by your shape, but the shape was already selected from yesterday's poll.
This is just being a bit more specific and realistic options.
A dinky is 7/8 size body and slightly more pointed.
The San Dimas is fairly close to a traditional strat body.

By my shape I mean that superstrat of mine I mentrioned in yesterday’s thread.

I have blueprints somewhere if need be, so quite realistic ?

Then Dinky it is. Thank you for explanation!

Do we win a Custom guitar in the end? ?

The game never ends.

Most of us are familiar with the options, so I feel that it would make more sense to stick with those over an unknown, even if it's cool.

I'm hoping to have this narrowed down in a week or two for final build specs before ordering.
Depending on what route it ends up, I imagine this will be at the latest ready to give away post rainy season here to account for proper paint finish/curing.

It should be purple, a light purple rain spray
