Thinking of making partscaster '61 Strat.

[Bunky]

If I end up doing this i'm either gonna get USACG parts. I'm just not sure where i'd order the appropriate decal, what would be the best pickups to get the '61 vibe (a la the Beatles strat tones), and what i would need for electronics, pick guard etc..

Anyone able to help me out here?

I think the Fender CS 54s are a really sweet set for a vintage-style Strat. I have them in my late 50s style Strat partcaster and they give a wonderful character.
