I purchased this neck on Ebay also for $56.  A big savings for this project.  #1 Has Tuners, #2 Cut out and shimmed for Floyd Rose Tremolo Bridge installation, which are usually not on most necks on Ebay.  This is a Hamer made strat neck that was fabricated by an Employee at the Hamer Guitar Factory in Chicago and thats where it was purchased from.

 Heres where i was suppose to plan the painting of a random stripe pattern..........then due to my impatience of sanding and painting, I decided to assemble this guitar first and use a temporary striped pattern.  As you will see in the following pics, as a graphic designer at a sign company, i have access to vinyl cutting plotters, which makes a project like this easy.  Im very happy with the way it came out and I'm gonna keep it like this for now.
