most of the parts are ordered and here. i have yet to buy the bridge (a badass II) and tuners (schallers). but the meat and guts are here.
sorry for the bad pics.
pups arrived today, from pete at vintage vibe. these pics don't do ANy justice to the quality of this man's products. both are regular HB sized.
the bridge: charlie christian style, 10k odd.
the neck: what he calls "jack", 8k or so.
both with tortoise tops, and chrome!
here is a rough mock up, i will NOT be using this guard, it is merely there to get a decent representation of a j.
and of course, the blonde that i'll be leaving at home if this all works out. i love her dearly, but just can't handle her all night. 1973 ricky!
i think i'll get to the cutting next week, i have 2 teles to cut out and this mama jama... i'd rather sit down and do them all at once as opposed to one at a time.
peace ya'll!
