Any thoughts on this CS Strat

I may be custom ordering a custom shop strat soon. Here are my specs.

Color - Daphne Blue Thin Skin Nitro
Body: Light sorted Swamp Ash
Neck: One Piece Maple (Plain, not flamed)
Neck Profile: 10/56 Boatneck V
Neck finish: clear gloss
Nut: Bone
Radius: 9.5
Frets: 6105
Bridge: Classic 6 point tremolo
Pickups: Lowest Output CS available--50's pickups? Then change to Van Zandt Tru Vintage. I eventually want a true bucker in the bridge wired for series single parallel.
Tuners Sperzel Locking


Any thoughts on how this could be approved. The base model I am working from is the Custom Deluxe.

Sounds ideal. Be sure to request that the neck be quartersawn. I do believe that it results in a structurally stiffer/more stable neck.

That is pretty much a 56 Stock Time Machine, with the exception of Ash

I'd look around for something like this

If you can, I would ditch the Sperzels and get Klusons. But that's just me...
