Choose a combination which sounds like you would enjoy(I would bet money that your strat is alder or maple).

finishes are needed if you want your guitar to remain playable(and not have the neck warp).Other than that,i'm not sure how different finishes(laquers,nitro,varnishes,clear coats,primers)affect the tone...something carvin would know more about than me.

What model are you looking at to customize?


Thanks for the links, big help. And in answer to your question, I am customizing a DC727 guitar and eventually I'm gonna customize an LB75 bass. But the guitar is my priority right now.
