Looks ok to me, at least he didn't do it to an original. I could do without the chrome pickup surrounds.

That's a bit excessive! If you wanna play that fret you could end up slicing your fingertips!!
Otherwise, it looks nice to me!...not sure if the rockers would be easier to knock and catch tho!!

A 'stang with a maple fretboard? Noice.

The sapphire is a bit weird and unnecessary, but, otherwise, I really dig it. I even like the chrome pickup surrounds.

What's the deal with the screw in the side of the neck heel?

Isn't that where Warmoth puts the truss rod adjustment for their necks.

But I have no idea what this is. Black stuff around the neck-plate?

70s fenders have a black piece of plastic in there. never understood what the point of it was. but you can buy them, I think they're known as neck plate "cushions". it's just a piece of plastic though, nothing cushiony about it.

Wow - that's a really weird spot for it.

Fender used to use a thin black plastic piece with a lip around the edge of it between the neck plate and body. It's commonly called a neckplate gasket or neck plate cushion. My '75 Music Master has one on it. It was fairly common on a lot of models in the 70s and 80s. You can get them for a few bucks on Ebay. They can help keep you from over-tightening the neck screws, and they somewhat protect the body / finish from neck plate indentations, and help hide any gaps that are caused by indentations, or curved neck plates.

the side truss rod ajustment is amazing! don't talk shit about it!
much better than the but or dicking with the headstock and trying to get inbetween the strings.
probly the best inovation as far as design goes in the last 15 years imo. very practical and effective.
i'd like to see a pic of the inner workings and gear system.
