Thanks for the offer, it never occurred to me to ask around to see who might have a body they weren't using.
Yes, I noticed all the holes in the neck pocket. I'm hoping it might not be too big an issue. I had my eye on a few bodies that were up on eBay and put in some low-ball bids and the bid on that one actually won. To the extent that that body had any particular appeal it was mostly because it was so freaking ugly. That, and I've wanted a white Strat ever since I saw Buck Dharma playing one at my first rock concert (BöC and Nazareth, Alexandria Roller Rink, '74), there's that Hendrix guy who played one too. Well I know this won't look like a Strat when I get done with it. It'll look wierd is what it'll do. Depending on the exact nature of the ugliness of the finish I may attempt to remove it. It didn't look too bad to me on eBay but the in the version of the pic that Spud posted it looks a little like it's been bathed in semi-gloss latex kitchen paint, which may or may not be all that attractive.
If it doesn't work out I may be dropping you a line, Doc.
"Considerable guitar restoration skills?" Not compared to some of the guys here. "Perverse guitar reamimation tendencies" is more like it. :)
