If I could justify buying myself one I would as I love the big body of ES style guitars and it'd be pretty cool to have one to play rock on.
But alas I have no money, and no job.
Anyway back to that guys strat...
looks pretty good as is, I probably wouldn't add the stripes. I think a set of grey bottom GFS strat pickups would be up your street, get some decent pots and a new switch as well - you'd be surprised at what difference this makes.

That'd look spiffy on my older strat. I already have a set of white covers and a set of cream covers that would work, I'd just need to find a black guard.

you have 2 blue Strats?
I have two strats. I was saying the black with white would look spiffy.

aye that guard pickup cover combo is a class look on a black strat
the body color doesn't matter so much with matching the neck wood as much as the pickguard material. with a maple neck, black looks brilliant, most of the time white can work well (besides it's classic fender), tort and pearl almost never look good.
Somewhat off-topic but mildly relevant: What should I name it? (yes, I name my instruments...) My bass is named "Betty", if that helps any. I toyed with the idea of "Veronica", as in Betty and Veronica from the Archie comics. I don't really know. I can't think of anything else.
Also, fat ass stripes are still a go. I think they'll look good on it, so.... That's what matters to me.
