So stoked to get started on it, not sure what color I'll repaint it in - any ideas?
I was thinking candy apple red or a metallic black.

Is the body Ash or Alder?
If Alder, I'm partial to Seafoam Green or Sonic Blue. I just think those colors rock. If it's Ash, then Mary Kay.
I played a 1993 Custom Shop Fender Strat with a Mary Kay finish and Fat '54's and man, I regret not pulling the trigger to this day.
Here's one of my Strat's. It's a 1993 Custom Shop in a custom color (which didn't even have a name!). It's got a 10"-16" Compound Radius, Texas Special's, a Gotoh bridge and vintage tuners. I don't use it that much but it can be heard on shows like Pawn Stars, The Voice, Counting Cars and many more. It's a killer SRV sounding Strat.
