Help me finish my project guitar - custom painted guitar body

[unleashthejay]

I think a roasted neck would look great on that one. Or black back & a red headstock to match the body.
Either way, with locking tuners and a self-lubricating nut.

Looking at the body, I understand the urge for black hardware. But IMO gold would be great too with the red & black.
I like that pickguard, but there's no way to get another pickup on it.

I concur on the CustomCustom bridge and an A2 Pro neck for pickups. Maybe even an A2P bridge at the neck for fatter mids.
I'd probably choose PRS type 5-way wiring via a Megaswitch P or Superswitch.
(Or go HSH with a stacked Strat pickup in the middle and autosplit in positions 2 & 4.)

I'd recommend the PRS type trem from MannMade, too, if price is no object. Otherwise a Wilks would be fine.
Don't know whether the deluxe Wilkinsons are available in black or gold though.
However, I do think they offer the conventional replacement bridges in all colors.

Great suggestions! Your post took me down some rabbit holes so thanks for that. I love the PRS mod suggestions too. That MannMade tremolo is too pricey for me but looks awesome.

Oh - just noticed 6 hole tremolo. Nevermind Wilkinson then...

CC A2p is a really good call too. Get Black/Red Zebra if you do!

oooo I never even thought of a Black/red zebra combo . I have to look into that, I'm assuming that's a custom shop request.

Aceman Not sure if you saw my other post in this channel but let me know if this Wilkinson tremolo is worth it or if you recommend I get the second one instead. Thanks

I clicked on both threads - no experience with either of those. I was talking about the Wilkinson 100 model

The best 6 hole I know of is Babicz

EXCELLENT suggestion!!!!!

I think you can also get a 4 hole VegaTrem to cover 6 holes.

I wasn't aware the Wilkinson 100 was now available in black or gold. Good to know.
It's an excellent trem. But it is two-post rather than six screw.

I have a black Gotoh 510TS 6-holes tremolo and it's working well.
