Looks cool! Did the staggered tuning posts help with keeping it in tune when using the tremolo? This guy has some youtube videos on keeping a std strat tremolo in tune really well, and that's one of the tricks he uses;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0Oyc6slYRc I saw a Dan Erlewine video where he enlarged some existing holes out on a guitar, and he started by running the drill in reverse initially so it wouldn't gouge them out. I think he also mentioned using dull drill bits as well. maybe that'll help with the chipping on the edges of the holes? Good job man! I so want to build a guitar too.

Thanks dude The guitar does stay in tune very well. There is no more string binding at the tuners and I don't use the string tree anymore, so that definitely helped with the tuning stability. It doesn't have as much range as say a Floyd Rose, so I really can't go totally ape s**t on it Great one Mudbone! Is there a YouTube preview too? would love to hear how it sounds... Thanks maharzan I'll post a demo of it once I can find a good way to record it played through an actual amp. O-oh, bummer about the wood : but a good recovery as well The strat looks aweeesomeeee!
