Oh Darkslicer, you so crazy.
So what's your cost estimate on all this?
I'm aiming to spend less than £300 but a chunk of that price will be pickups alone. I want quality wood too but I also want it pre-painted so I just need to find an old debuilt part and hope it goes cheap.
I want the guitar to sound good but I also want it to be what I see in my head so I'm focusing a lot on aesthetic too.
I'd say less than £200 on everything except the pickups is my goal then I'll spare £50-100 on some decent used pickups. I really really want Texas Specials but my friend has offered me stock fender pickups with a single coil DiMarzio humbucker wired for the bridge, I'm not a huge fan of HBs but having one on the bridge isn't a huge issue because I rarely use it. mid-bridge is awesome in HSS though.
