Well, the truth is that this guitar came out expensive, because My brother and I wanted to make a super strat, the body ys chambered and has a quilt maple top, that by itself costed $300, and the neck is flame maple with a pau ferro fretboard, with stainless steel frets. Another $300, warmoth is expensive but has a lot too choose from. I don't know if I'd buy from them again. The pickups are DiMarzios each was $70 bucks, I wired the guitar so that any of the pickups could be used as either series or paralell, that was a few more dollars for push pull pot and additional switch. The tone control is not POT but an arrangement of capacitors made by stellartone, then the roller nut, wilkinson tremolo and golden hardware, the guitar came out for about $800-$900 dolars. A little expensive, but the truth is you could make a great quality guitar for under $500 or even $400 if you shop around.
I let the lacquer set for a month, maybe that was too long but I wanted to make sure that it buffed out nicely, I used Lawrence Mcfadden Lacquer from stew mac, and it dries pretty quick, they claim 7 days is enough, I would say give it two or 3 weeks to make sure
