All wired up and strung up. Needs a little bit of a setup and has a small grounding problem. I had to add a three way toggle to get a better switching combo. Glad I had cooter rout out for the toggle just in case lol.
TOGGLE: Neck / Neck & Bridge / Bridge
MUSTANG SWITCH: Middle on / Middle off / Middle out of phase

Took a few pictures of it. My New Cyber Twin SE behind it :)

That is really well done. I can't say I like the body shape, but it is very well executed.

I loved this design but the top pic on this page (4) was my fave because it didn't show off the lower bout, which I found a bit wonky... IMO the stripe has sort of rectified that and it looks even better now.

Thanks. Yeah I think it levels out nicely now with the stripes. What makes it look weird is the lower part of a jag is higher then the upper horn of a mustang. But that's what I like about it, how weird it is. It's so extremely comfortable. And I just wanted something with a very noticeable offset but not jagstang like lol. When your playing this guitar it looks so cool. Likes its in motion. I think if I would of went with a jag trem it would of looked less wonky but hey I'm happy.
