Personally I'd like to see an H/S option.

Given the shape and general aesthetic, I would imagine HSH and HSS would be slower sellers, HH, H and HS seem more inline with what people purchasing this sort of aesthetic tend to gravitate towards. I'd also imagine a 2 point trem is less ideal for that crowd than an FR style bridge, or even an evertune.

Something more akin to an AZ/Suhr/TA "softer" style strat would get more traction with the 2pt trem and HSS/HSH configurations from what I'm seeing.

Your headless design is attractive, practical and sufficiently unique. Your super Strat design is IMO less attractive, less ergonomic and less unique.

My advice would be to make your headless design available in the budget line. It's a much less crowded market.

I suppose the main thing is price. Presuming it'll be along the lines of Solar guitars.
As others have mentioned, stellar QC is vital. I'd be tempted to leave the trans finishes in favour of solid/sparkly colours. If you're painting them in Italy, then something you could offer would be a "painted to order" service. Or paint matching. Someone could send you a bottle of nail polish and you match it. Or even just offering paint in any RAL code.
I'm unlikely to buy one, but the lack of inlays rules me out.
I can't remember if it's bolt on, but if you had them made in individual pieces (or disassembled the completed guitars!) and you could offer a limited options semi-custom service.
The choice of ebony or maple fretboards, different pickup configurations, headstock shape, then colour. You probably don't want to do a semi custom type thing, but something like a European Balaguer with reduced options would definitely get me interested.
If you're painting them yourself then offering other semi-custom options could set you apart from the rest.
