almost finished the swinger

I'm not going to take any up-close shots because the finish is so amateurishly done I literally just gave it four coats of spraypaint and wet sanded MOST of the body. Its good enough I guess.

The whole project cost about 150 bucks and almost all of that was the body and pickguard. I used a leftover jagmaster neck, leftover spray paint, leftover screws, etc. The pup is a GFS 15k rail type thing and it sounds good and hot. I haven't put in the tone pot yet because I couldn't find a drop cap, and I don't have any knobs for it yet.

I'll probably add in tone control later but im gonna play it for a week or so as is

oh, and it needs an E string.
