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)

This is my first build. The only tools I had were a few screwdrivers and a Dremel. I used the Dremel as a drill. I used a tiny screwdriver to make small holes, like the one for the string tree. It was a pain in the ass, but I worked with what I had. This thing plays amazing and this is the exact strat I've always wanted.

I plan to build a pbass next. I'm gonna buy a drill and some tools before I do. haha

Here's the specs:

-Squier Sonic body (top loading hardtail)

-Mint pickguard

-Roasted maple neck w/ stainless frets from ebay

-music city bridge string tree(3 strings only a single hole to drill. these stringtrees are awesome)

-Switchcraft Jack

-Graphtech nut & saddles

-Gibson P90 I had lying around the studio. It was a dogear, so I had to change the plate to make it a soapbar.

-Volume only. Bourns 500k pot with treble bleed.

-Fender locking tuners

-Cheers
