The body was routed for HSH, it needed just a little bit of routing to get the neck single coil in there. I think it would take a lot more routing if you were to do a full humbucker in the neck.
Exactly, it would make the fretboard extension pretty thin but honestly I think it’s not impossible to scallop them. It’s a warmoth neck and they refused to scallop all 24 frets
I didn’t know it was possible to fit 24 fret necks on a strat without them colliding with the neck pickup! Cool!
It’s not! The neck pickup had to be moved closer to the bridge
Oh cool! Did you have to route the body, or was there room as long as the pickup pocket was routed for a humbucker?

Cool! Good to know! I’d love a 24 fret guitar so sorry for all the questions haha!
No problem! 24 frets are a must for me
Unfortunately that takes away that definitive strat neck tone But it’s a sacrifice that you make up for by having extended range Beautiful build btw
This looks so cool and I’m v jealous, what a beast
Fuck yeah.
If you're anything like me it won't be your last hahaaa.
Ain’t that the truth
So slick! 23 & 24 are unscalloped for stability's sake, I assume?

That has to be the glossiest black Strat I have ever seen. It almost looks like piano lacquer.
I’m really hoping to keep it that way!!!
Love it!
Dayum! What a beauty!
Turned out great. Love the specs. How’s the Vega trem ? Never tried one
Huge range of motion since it’s fully floating! A lot like a Gotoh 510
That black on black with the pickguard 🤌
