Looks great!  I like the bigger, more Gretschy knobs too.

I'm surprised how pale the korina looks, I always imagine it as more of a golden colour - is it normally finished with a bit of an amber tint to bring out the colour more?

That's up to Wez, but it'll either be clear or a light amber/gold?

its raw wood and always looks a bit more pale, and its taken with a flash

If you look at the build thread for tony's guitar you can see that the mahogany was really pale - but came to life under a simple clear finish

there wont be a tint unless the tones in the korina are clashing with the blue

Hey hey!  Great!

Yeah, it looks really good - an extremely "clean and functional" look to it.

just been having a play with the pickguard design, so here is a mockup with the paper template



probably just needs a little more curve on the back edge - but not too shabby!



Thats going to be badass.  Me likey  :D

Bet it would look great in a goldtop type of finish.

Gods every time I see this thread I want one.

Maybe a P90 one.

So many guitars, so little money.  :(
