Considering the cost of wood and the fact that you can pick up a decent one for around £60.
The only reason I can think of is if you wanted to be anal about a '50's arm contour or wanted some exotic wood or something.
Other guitars, like Charvel Stars, Jackson Firebirds, V's, through necks etc, and whatever you want sure, but Strats?

Well I sawed up the MDF to make a strat shape front and back, I'II trim it more accurately later from a blank body, just wanted to get rid of the big sheet of MDF that had been sitting around forever, it will be for a V trem Strat.
Also did a Charvel Star which I'II modify with a 2 1/4" neck pocket instead of 2 3/16".
I'm thinking I may make another couple of front and back Charvel Strat templates with the remainder as I haven't anything with a Charvel rear rout nor Floyd Posts or the larger 2 1/4" neck pocket and get some more for the Jackson Firebird as I'm still working out the shape on that.
So that's 4 strat templates in all after all the moaning was said and done and the sheet is gone. The fecking carb and ignition module they set me doesn't fit the Stihl either, but it does fit something else and my hands are tingly numb and blue and the neighbours are pissed off with my tuning and revving two stroke engines and jig sawing at 10am. Although truth be told, they are pissed off at any time and I don't make any noise ordinarily although they are perfectly fine for me to come around and trim all their hedges for peanuts. Kind of pisses me off because the weekend or after 6 or 7pm is the only time I have to do this stuff and I'm not exactly obnoxious.
I don't know how you people get away with it, especially router tables, they have to be the loudest.
I think most people in this country, just want you to be quiet or piss off and die and everyone is so selfish and short tempered. It never used to be this way. Only the last 20 or 30 years or so. I think the idea is, you should work quietly away in an office, then get home, make no noise what so ever, then sleep, then get back to the office and if you need anything done, pay heinous amounts of cash to someone who is coping business rates to do it and god forbid you have a commercial vehicle. I think society and the government basically are trying to emasculate as many people as possible into a tax paying, unskilled, soap opera addicted, banal existence. Still it's better around here than most. I know the local charcoal burner moved though and the residents are doing their best to get him to sell up as his operates his chainsaws all day. It's kind of what country suburbia has become these days, it's sad to be honest.
Anyway, so 4 strat templates on the way then, that is a bonus instead of moaning.
I still cant figure out why the neighbours never complained.

That's why I thought a set neck kit would work for people looking for something different to make.

I'm sure you could order what you want, unless it's made with some different woods then getting a custom made makes sense.
