Getting Bits Together

Well in my quest to recreate this guitar (with little or no wood work involved) I have purchased the following things already :-

• A Black and White Strat (Squire body , Fender neck i reckon from the eBay photo's) ,
• Mirror pick guard,
• Chrome telecaster style control knobs
• A 3 way toggle switch that Tom uses as a kill switch.

So far I have the Knobs and the Kill switch , with everything else still to come .

I know anyone who knows about Tom and his guitars will say " He uses a Floyd Rose!!!" .

Unfortunately my answer to that is Grrrrrrr eBay bastards ...

I was bidding on a Fernandes "The Function" that was near enough perfect for the build, however I was outbid by 2 Pounds with 2 seconds to go , and to reroute my body would cost 200quid at my local music shop or 70 if I sent it to london and that doesn't included postage or the fee's to set up the floyd rose . So because of the fact I'm a working stiff with a wife and kids ,it means I have had to let it go and just try to get everything else as accurate as I can.

Maybe the Gods of eBay will let me have a break next time , by making the pickups suddenly appear in my hands......
