........here it is now. I was going to burn the finish off and repaint it, but I kinda liked how it looked when it was sat there on fire, so that's what I did with it. Scr@ped off all the loose finish, sanded parts of it, then sealed it with a matt finish. I stripped the neck back to bare wood and waxed it up, had a new logo made for the headstock in chrome, then slapped in the new pickups Tim kindly made for me. Sounds awesome!
