It is finally finished
I just completed my first custom built guitar. I went with a strat body, two humbuckers Dimarzios with coil splitters, on the push push pots, both volumes no tone, the pots are located where the 2 tones would be on a strat. The body is lacewood, clear coated. The neck is maple with a pau fero fret board and stainless steel frets it has a shorter gibson scale as opposed to slightly longer Fender. The headstock is typical 70 style fender with black sperzel tuners. I went with a black Wilkinson tremolo. I purchased the neck, body, pots, and tremolo from Warmoth and I am really happy with the results.
Now I am looking forward to building my next one. FWIW, I am 42 and have been playing guitar for over 20 years. I had my brother in-law spray the body and a close friend who is a luthier wire it for me.

 Cool. I can't wait to build my own, too! How about some pictures?
