hello forum 
i want to (more or less) recreate the guitar of the rock guitar god david gilmour, but for a bit less money (because i am quite on a budget).
what i have now: a self built strat with two humbuckers and a maple/rosewood neck and a bad vintage vibrato and three schaller/claim active single coils
i thought about buying the emg spc and exg and wire it like david gilmour has, as my pickups should be quite similar to emg sa. i still need a good vibrato (and a nonfloating one), preferably with a short arm. i thought about a wilkinson vsv-g copy or a similar one.
and, of cource, i would need a new neck, similar to the fender 57 reissue maple/maple and laquered fretboard (even if i prefer oil finish). this neck should be comfortable, though, for more or less classical chording and soloing, not too thin but not too fat, because i have got very short fingers and damaged wrists.
if you know where to get such a neck for not much money, or maybe you can name a cheap guitar with such neck so i can just exchange the neck and sell the guitar again, i would really appreciate that
and last but not least, any opinions on planet waves locking autotrim tuners? because i am now a locking tuners only person :-)
thanks in advance,
roman
/edit
i have searched a little bit, seems that a sx sst57 neck would do the job.
anybody has one to sell? ;D
