Anywho,It does look nice. Those ionizers,from what I've heard on YT are pretty cool sounding pickups.

That is one good-looking body shape you designed. Very strat-like so it gives a traditional hint, but still modern with the headless spec.

Reminds me of the old Voyager models, but with modern hardware. Should be interesting.

Also what the hell is "galaxy ebony"?

EDIT: Speaking of which, you doing the .strandberg* trem or is this a hardtail build?

I dubbed the fingerboard galaxy ebony because of the grain pattern on it. It reminds me of a blurry shot of space.
As for the hardware im going all strandberg. No trem though. Just the mono bridges. I also have to upload a new shot of the body design as i have modded it more in the lower half. I brought the end of the wings up even more so there wasnt so much over hang and nonsense in the way of the tuners. I may even go further
