Those Felines and your ones look really nice. That volume knob looks a bit near the bridge pup, though.

And that Tennessee thing with the Strat body and neck but Tele bridge, pups and control plate actually looks like a bass to me - I had to look twice to be certain!

I have one of those as a long term project. Currently I'm quietly carving forearm and belly contours in.

The feline ones seem to have the standard strat layout, which does levethe volume control quite close to the bridge pickup but its a widely accepted standard. 

 

Its what i would have done with mine too, but Juansolo specifically asked for it to be further away and to lose the middle control.  Its not easy to find an alternative 2-knob layout on strat guard that doesn't look a little odd, but I think I got there

If I could trust myself to do that without destroying it, I would, too.

This sir, is exactly why I'm doing it quietly, as in very very slooooooowly.
