here's the deal, I can't find a guitar exactly like I want, and I don't want to buy a cheap guitar and modify it. So, I've turned to warmoth as an option. Can anybody help me out with this idea? this is how I want the guitar:
top routed swamp ash strat body
hardtail bridge - chrome
S-S-S pickup arrangment
LSR roller nut
Schaller Mini Locking Tuners - chrome
black chrome knobs
Aluminum Checker Plate/Formica - pickguard
black and silver chameleon/flip flop paint(if possible)
maple neck w/ ebony fretboard
SD Duckbucker N/M and Lil' 59er B
ss6105 frets
Are there any other company's than could do this better than warmoth? or would they be a safe bet?

Thanks for the reply. I plan on haveing it "universally" routed so I can use single's or humbuckers. As far as the bridge pup goes, what kind of pup would you suggest that will have a vintage LPish humbucker sound and can be tapped to get a single coil sound? Also, what would be a good humbucker that would do the same? Would it be possible to get a set of humbuckers that I could get something like Slash's LP tone, but still tap them and get a Hendrix/SRV single coil tone? Ideally that would be exactly what I would want, but I don't know if the tapped humbucker's will get closenough to the true single coil tone.

For some reason I'm thinking Duncan has something like what you're looking for, but don't quote me on it.
It may be a good idea to just throw in a single coil pickup or two from kinman or deville.

duncan has the pearly gates and the paf pro. Both are sweet.
So. If you throw a cat out of a car window, is it considered "kitty litter"?

I was bored not too long ago and designed a hypothical custom guitar with what they have at warmoth, it was about $2000. Considering if it was from any other company it would have been well over twice that, they at least price right.
