Oh well not to worry, I always **** up things too. I have some nice wood single coil mounting rings, but you are using metal right?

Re: NBD - Custom Walnut Strat
Iknow you have the chrome in mind but imo i think some nice maple rings would contrast well.

I agree but I'm on a tight budget here, I can't spend any more money haha. I think I might end up selling this one if I can to build my next dream.

I love the beautiful yet punchy midrange tone that comes from walnut.
The large (heavy mass type) forged tail piece assembly creates great sustain and more high end treble available.

Re: NBD - Custom Walnut Strat
That should be great. Although I'm not a fan of Warmoth truss rod...it slows the vibrations too much and creates a thuddy effect.
Knowing that now means you can chose other places in the build to add crispness and speed.

Eh, not bad, probably about 4 or 5 lbs. The whole thing probably will weigh about 6 or 7 lbs total

With the bevel its comfortable enough I don't really need one. Plus I like the way this looks as is. Also there are four layers of Tung Oil on it haha

Re: NBD - Custom Walnut Strat
Sounds a bit crazy bro, But i would recommend assembling the guitar even with one pickup/simple wiring just so you have some idea of how it will play and feel. It will also give you a chance to make any body mods if you need.

That's good. My father-in-law has a big walnut stump that I'm looking at making a couple bodies from. He's got everything I'll need to cut, plane and route it.
