Wow.
Guys, I posted a follow-up thread to this:

The CV is a fantastic instrument, in my case for a little more green I got a custom built Esquire from Rob DiStefano, a fantastic local luthier.
Wow.

Haha, thanks. Except for the neck pup (and control-plate flip), yours is a dead ringer for it! Mine's an '87 '52 RI that a bandmate at my former church sold me for probably about half what it was worth, simply because he wasn't playing it!
I need to gig it a lot more than I do. It has the funky original '50's wiring scheme, which takes some getting used to, but I actually like. Although many if not most think that that set-up won't allow for neck+bridge pickup selection, it's still do-able, you just have to put the pickup selector at the "in-between" "no-notch" setting midway between the neck and bridge detents. Which is what early Strat players did with their 3-position switches to get "quack."

Can't tell from your picture but can you see some wood grain through your finish? I can see just a hint in mine. A little more would have been perfect but I still like the finish just the same.

Oop's, you are correct. Meant the Vintage brand guitars that Wilkinson is associated with. I'll blame working nights!

What are those pickups in that pictured CV Krash? Can't read the name. How do they sound?

That's not a CV, but a "Vintage" brand guitar that Tig had meant to reference. The pups are Wilkinson, as Trev is affiliated with or a founder of the Vintage brand. I haven't heard them, as they're a UK import brand. I do have cyber-buds from Blighty who have Vintage brand guitars, who are very fond of them, though I believe they own LP copies rather than Strats.

There's a distributor in NJ if you like Vintage Guitars - Kenny's Music Box
http://www.kennysmusicbox.com/
I've tried the Icon 100 LP series and thought they were pretty good.
