WTB Strat Body, Ideally Metallic/Metalflake finish

DrBob

I'm having no joy finding a neck with a 57mm heel for the body I do have so coming at it the other way and thinking of instead selling that and trying to source a body for a nice neck that I have with the standard 56mm heel.

Plan is to make an HS style Strat like the one Justin Hawkins is playing but with a vintage trem, Want it to be quite "rawk' so ideally a metallic/metalflake finish, would consider most things except Sunburst 

Not a massive fan of heavy guitars, I've already got enough weight hanging off of my skeleton, doesnt have to be minty fresh, dont mind a dent or scratch 

Keen to see what you've got
