HI All.

Umm ok I'll get down to it. I'm planning to build myself a Strat. Got the Body and neck done so there's a plus

A few things.

When spray painting the body, I need to first prime the wood and then use nitrocellulose spray paint and let each individual coat dry extensively, correct?

And is it worth spending the money on a Tremolo bridge or the machine heads? I know that BOTH affect the guitars tuning, but which affects it drastically? And is it worth purchasing a bridge in a kit or get the items separately?

Is it worth shielding a prewired set of DG-20 EMG pickups?

I guess that's it for now.. if I've got any problems I'll repost

Thanks
