could i like gut a holy grail reverb pedal and get it inside my guitar?

what about if i went mahogany? thanks. oh and any other answers to those questions? thanks

how do you make sure your neck is on straight with teh laser

if i were to put stickers like these http://www.ggstickers.com/stickers.htm on the neck of my guitar (the back), and it was finished, would they peel and get in my way? Does anyone know of more decal websites?

Alright, I decided to make a guitar with parts from warmoth.com. What I basically want to make is a strat with more sustain and possibly some humbuckers. I want to stack it with good parts. Here's a list of the stuff I was looking at, if anyone could help me out, tell me where I'm going wrong I would appreciate it. I listed some questions at the bottom as well. Thanks a lot.

Strat style body, maple. Routed from the back, with no pickguard. 1 volume, 1 tone. Jack in the side. Straplocks

Gotoh Wilkinson Tremolo (non locking, its supposed to stay in tune though)

21 Fret Fingerboard, Rosewood. Maple neck. It's the basic fender bolt on. 25.5 scal length

They have this compound fingerboard thing so that the radius of the fingerboard is higher as you get higher on the neck (not as much fretting out).

Ball bearing nut

Schaller Tuners

Double expanding truss rod

Thin back of neck.

Jumbo frets

Trapezoid Inlays

Schaller Mini Locking Tuners

Not sure about finish, probably a dark sunburst.

Not sure about headstock, maybe a reverse.

As for wiring, there is a great guy on the site called guitarnuts.com (i think) who I'm going to consult when i have my pickup configuration set. He rewires strats for a living I think, makes them noiseless. But for pickups.....

I don't want any stock fenders, maybe the vintage noiseless, but I want things with more bite. I haven't done much with pickups, I know how they work, but which ones are good, I'm clueless. One question, can I mix and match? Like have an Alnico, Seymour Duncan, and EMG all on the same guitar? So here are some I liked

Seymour Duncan Hot Rails

Dimarzio Virtual Vintage Heavy Blues

Seymour Duncan Invader

Gibson P90 or P94

EMG81 or EMG85

Seymour Duncan Seth Lover

I know they are pretty random, but we play everything so I need a variety. I'd like something bluesey for rythym, Les Paul like almost, but not the alnicos, ive got those on my les paul. I want something with higher output for lead, something that can give chunk, balls, but not too single track. Oh yeah, i can have any configuration as well, even 3 humbuckers. Any reccomendations or comments would be appreciated

And finally here are some questions

warmoth.com mentioned phase shifting possibilities. What is phase shifting?

Would it be possible to put a bypass switch or button on the guitar to turn off the signal?

Is coil Splitting worth it?

If I really worked at it could I get a simple effects pedal built into the guitar, like reverb, chorus, echo, etc?

If there is a ton of space cut out for electronics, will the guitar not have as much bite? How oitcable is this?

I'll leave it at that. Thanks a lot

alright, im putting together a guitar from some parts off of warmoth.com They mentioned phase shifting. What is that? And I had the crazy idea of actually wiriing a stompbox into the guitar, like a reverb or something. Could I gut a reverb and wire it through? I would have to get another cavity in teh back for electronics, but I'll do it. Thanks
