dunno why I didn't see this before now. Its awesome that you're building your own and even installing the electronics yourself..I'm with Jake. I love the '72 style headstock. The pickguard..I'm with Jer, it doesn't look bad, but I think if you can find somethimg that matches better, go for it!...should look great when you're done!

I saw a dude at Warped playing a tele with the same exact finish and he had a black pickguard on and it looked SICK. I think that's what I'll switch to.

The neck came today. Blown away. The finish is amazing and the flames in the wood are even better!

I took it into the shop today to get the tuners installed (I'm too afraid to drill into the beautiful neck to do it myself). Once the dude calls me and says it's ready, it will be time to play the beast. :2cool4u:

I recorded myself screwing around on it so you guys can hear how it sounds. It has such a beautiful tone.
