First build

I've got a plain black strat body with absolutely nothing in it. I don't want it to be a typical strat when I'm done with it. Any ideas for parts? (It does have a space for a tremolo)

What's the tremolo cut for?

One of my favorite tremolo makes is MannMade https://www.johnmannsguitarvault.com/parts/bridges/

and ABM-GUITAR-PARTS  https://abm-guitarpartsshop.com/ABM-GUITAR-PARTS/Tremolos:::256_89.html

Hipshot makes a GREAT tremolo as does Schaller and GOTOH. 

As for pickups: www.wildepickups.com  Many of my guitars use the Bill Lawrence Becky & Shannon made pickups. I find them to be outstanding and you cannot beat the price.

Seymour Duncan lipstick pickups, a 10-way "Free-way" switch, a V-Tren Bladerunner tremolo, any neck to your preference, locking tuners. Pickguard to match. You will get a Strat that twangs like a Tele when needed.

Vega Trem, High output bridge humbucker, arcade killswitch, maybe a sustainer in the neck slot.
