If you want a guitar that you'll have to put more money into it than it's worth to get it playing and sounding great, get the Saga. If you want a pro-quality guitar with some assembly required, buy the Carvin. Everything on them, including the pickups, are high quality. People tend to change out pickups to taste anyway, so don't worry about pulling out the Carvins.

assembly required on the carvins? Its the same as the saga only I can imagine that you have to do the soldering yourself which I already know how to. I plan on adding a series/parallel switch aswell to the carvin.

Thanks a lot guys. After some consideration I might just buy a guitar body and neck from stewmac. Though the neck pocket and the neck dont have any holes in them. Or I could even buy a saga guitar kit or carvin. Though im weary about the quality of the wood I will be getting. Also Im not sure the carvin kit is worth it because I think im going to be changing the electronics, pickups, tuners, bridge. Unless you guys would say that all of the above are quality in the carvin?

yes.

as long as they are made for the correct fret necks, it should work.

do you mean like if its the right number of frets on the neck?

On the carvin site it doesnt say what type of wood they use and if its a laminate. Same with warmoth.

I plan on buying a strat body such as this

And I plan on buying a fender neck such as this

Is it guaranteed that the neck will fit in the neck pocket perfecty with no adjustments neccesary, you just have to screw in the bolts and thats it?

Thanks a lot.
