It looks great, nice quartersawn neck.

There were two with lovely grain on the fretboard, and the others were just dark plain wood. I went for this one just because it's a bit more interesting.

Best colour combo too!

I am sure it plays like a dream but ..........does it not annoy you that the humbicker is black?

I get where you’re coming from but double white humbucker on a Strat looks weirdly forced. Ideally zebra but double black is still preferable to double white. And never with a nickel cover.

Nickel cover on a strat bridge-position humbucker looks best, imo.

Looks cool. Needs a mint pickguard though with Olympic white as the colour. ;-)

OP-Does the Thornbucker split on this one? The Thornbucker  is a cracking PAF type. I’d also pop raw nickel on it.

@rze99 It splits in as much as the "In between position" of the middle pickup and humbucker is split, but there is no coil tap.

How does that compare to a regular s/s position 2 sound?

As quacky and the same as a “normal” Strat. Yo my ears, at least.

This is worth a listen/watch
