I just finished my Gold Strat project.  The neck is pretty much the same as Joe's, big baseball bat, the body is finished in nitro.  I put Area 58 and Area 61 pickups in it.  Aged parts.  I just need to fine tune the action but giving it some time to settle since the neck had no tension for months and want to make sure it does what it'll do before I go ahead and call it 100%.  Not really after Joe's guitar, I just think it looks cool.  The pics aren't the best but here ya go...

Some bluesy stuff, maybe over a backing track would be nice ;-))

There's some soundclips at http://www.myspace.com/midlinedriver off an album I put out this summer.  Not that guitar...but gives you an idea of some stuff.  Actually if you look at our pics the3rd pic in the top row is what the gold strat was before it was the gold strat (it was a sunburst '62 RI body with Suhr V60LPs).

They're great pickups, but they weren't right in that guitar.  They weren't giving me exactly what I was looking for.
