That would be nice, but the Strats in waiting are a pair of Strat Plus 
and maybe a Roland ready.
One of the Strats is a '93 with DiMarzio Virtual Vintage p/ups. The 
other one is I think is
a '99 or 2000 w/Texas Specials that might get changed to Virtual 
Vintage. I could always
swap the necks off to nicer bodies, I'll see how this works out.

Builder? I was looking at local NY/NJ guys, but I have a lead on someone 
in California
who can deal with the microtonal tuning issues. I haven't call him yet.

What dealer am I going  through? I don't. I deal with Luthiers on a 1/1 
relationship.
