Thats epic AF, the pickguard with the belt looks amazing, and the pearl tuning machines are an excellent touch, great style choices man!

Meh. Just a Tele wearing a fancy girdle.

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Super glue and bone dust trick to recut the nut too as the E and B were too low.
Substantial truss tweakage and saddle adjustment.
Rewired the four way switch a hundred times before realising my neck pickup hot wire had snapped mid way.... :shock: :sick: stranded..how??
Very happy with the rustoleum rattle can finish. Its hard, shiny and looks great. And now the belt isnt lost in the wood finish as it was before.
Also got some white button klusons. I like the more natural finish neck too without heavy stain.

So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.
