I'm in!
This build, the Raycaster, has taken some time as has had to fit between real work and a few other things but is now done and I'm very pleased. Maybe not as flash as my semi hollow build but I love it.
The Raycaster
Two piece alder body finished in sea foam green nitro
Wenge neck, with ebony fretboard 25.5" scale length
Gotoh locking tuners, staggered height
Wilkinson trem with big steel block
Seymour Duncan ssl1 in middle and neck, texas special in the bridge (RWRP)
Graphtech nut and string retainer
Mint pickguard, with cream controls
Vintage style wiring, with cloth covered wire
Goldo Backstop in trem cavity
This build has turned out exactly as I had planned. The wenge neck suits perfectly, feels lovely with a simple wax finish and the whole thing just feels right. Plus I think the colours work really well (Thanks Nick Johnston for the inspiration). I wanted a strat that felt a bit more refined, with a few nods to the old but some extras and I think I nailed it.
I hope you all like it!
