The deets:
SX Liquid body Pickups - Toneriders - Overwound A5 in the bridge (thanks Rocky!), Vintage wound A2 in middle and neck. 250k CTS pots and a .015uF tone cap.
Neck - WD (Had the 12" radius this guitar wanted)
It sounds like a *really* fat Strat. 
The WD neck (brand new) took a lot of work on the frets. These are definitely below a Warmoth. But all's well that ends well.
I wrecked whatever resale value it might have had with the decal on the headstock. And that's alright with me.

Leftee, that looks killer!
Are you an Old Crow??? If so, we probably crossed paths...

Great looker! I'm a big P90 fan and would love to hear how it sounds. Ship it to me so I can give it a test-run and I'll ship it back.
No...really...honest I will! 😏

I really like the color and what you have done with it!.
I had one of those SX "Gumby's" a few years back. I sold it because I did not like the middle pickup being in the way. That was my first and last 3 pickup guitars. |

Thanks!
I found the donor guitar on Reverb... cheap. The neck has a wicked back-bow. That’s why the new neck.

It will keep you from selling it and regretting it later  Had they had that color when I bought mine and didn't have the whammy bar mine had, I might still have it even with 3 pickups. Yep the stock pickups were crap. I got some Reverend P-90's and put in it at the time. About their necks they were never very sturdy. Wouldn't hold a tuning on the SX Bass I bought years ago.
