Looks great, but personally I don't like the choice of sticker for the initials. Totally spoils it for me.

Looks and sounds great. Very nice pickups. I think the initials look good although I may have opted for black with gold/silver lettering for a bit of contrast.

Cool. I put them on the pickguard so if I ever decided they were bugging me, I could just peel them back off instead of on the body. :)

The pickups are cool. I was curious on how they would sound wired this way. They still sound stratty even with the 500k pots. I like the setting with all three on. I could always try different stickers later if I felt the urge. :) I just happened to have these guys in my parts bin. :)

Thanks! At least the stickers are easy to remove if I ended up feeling the same way. :)

Oh something funny I forgot to mention. Because I removed the two layers of lamination from the front and back of the body, the bridge sits slightly lower (not a big deal, it has ungodly perfect low clean action) and the block sits lower. Because of that, with the springs on, I can't put the cover on the back because it doesn't sit flush in the body. LOL I guess this one is keeping it's back cover off.

This is quite possible the most beautiful thing I've seen. I'm not so keen on the final outcome.

At the same time I have to admire the way you've made something totally precious, and then twisted it, like God.

I salute your skills and vision.

Thanks! I knew not everyone would like the relic'ed ending, but I wanted to give relic'ing a try and it is very comfortable and I like the look. :) Also makes me less nervous when I play with it and bump it. :)
