OK,I have an idea of the guitar I want to build from warmoth(thanks alot ponyone,you sparked me back into 'creation' mode)...my question

Will a rescessed wilkinson tremolo,graphtech nut and sperzel locking tuners REALLY keep the thing in tune?I dont want to build my '81'(because thats the only pickup that will be on it...clever huh)and find it goes out of tune like a broken squire.I plan on having all the frets scalloped too.I'm not sure if that would effect the tuning.any answers would be helpful(and no 'just an 81 in the bridge?You suck!' cause thats the only way I can have my precious 24 frets.).
Try once,fail twice...

you can still have two humbukers when you have 24 frets, scalloping does not effect tuning,however when you push down hard on a note it will raise the pitch like a bend.

Yup. As long as you use the tuners properly...
