New Strat Build with EMG's

I finished a pair of Strats a few weeks ago - here are some pictures and info:



Specifications:

Solid Mahogany Body with Spalted / Flamed Maple top
AAA Flame Maple Neck with Maple Fretboard - Abalone Inlays
EMG-DG 20 Pickup's - http://www.emginc.com/products/index/56/11/1
Callaham USA Vintage S Tremolo and Hardware in Nickle: http://www.callahamguitars.com/partsstr.htm
Callaham Vintage Split Post Tuners
Bone Nut
Pro Setup
£750 (Cheaper than an off the wall USA Strat)

This Strat has the perfect "Strat" sound - I am very pleased with the finished guitar.

Mantis II Update

Looking at the end of August for the initial completion of the Mantis II's - at that point they will be ready for hardware - note that some are H/H while others are S/S/H with a trem. The fretboards are either tree of life or plain ebony. This is a limited first run of 30 instruments - pricing is difficult due to the various hardware combinations, but I am looking at around £750 for one equipped with PREMIUM name brand hardware (Fender, Gibson, Schaller, Tonepros, Bare Knuckles, EMG, Seymour Duncans, DiMarzios) and select electronics such as coil splitting, out of phase etc.
