Here is the link to the photobucket that has my pictures in it.

The guitar is about 70% done at this point with not much more to go.

Clear coat with a P-90 at the bridge and a humbucker at the neck.

I did the headstock so that it wasn't just another clone...

Ok guys, the neck is now almost done. The shaping is very close and I have to drill the tuning machines and cut the frets in.

I should be able to fasten the neck to the body tomorrow or so.

Looking very good. I was wondering, what is the scale on that bad boy? I can't wait to hear clips when it is done. And, are you going Nitro? Only way to go, IMO.

The scale is 24.5" with a 22 fret layout.

No, I am not shooting this with nitrocellulose lacquer. It is too hard to find here in town.

I need to finish shaping the f-holes and bed the neck just a bit deeper and then I can fasten the neck to the body.

I am using an acrylic laquer. Not nitro.

Oh, ok. As long as your not using any pu's, it's fine with me. :D

Hey guys and gals,

Here is an update on this project.

http://s67.photobucket.com/albums/h315/Lordogier/?action=view&slideshow=true

I have most of the electronics mounted. I need to buy a switch tomorrow and wire it up. Then, I need to get my tuners, fretwire, bridge and tailstop installed.

Ok guys and Gals,

I just ordered all the rest of the crap I need to finish this thing up. It has been a while and I am sooo looking forward to playing it.

I will post pics when all the stuff comes in.

I have some rings on order for the pups. The nut and new strings will be mounted tomorrow as well as the fretting getting done.
