Charvel San Dimas III. If I had to save one thing from my burning house, this would be it.

Bareknuckles - of course

Here are the specs:
It's brazilian mahogany body and neck, rosewood fretboard with an ebony veneer on the headstock. The wood is gorgeous and so resonant when played acoustically. It's a really nice weight - lighter than my Jag in fact, only just...
Finish is a bit of black stain, then oiled. Looking for the guitar to wear naturally quite quickly.
The guitar Headstock is his shape - based on an old 70s Manson one. Gotoh tuners.
Flat top - nicely rounded body edges.
2 vol, 2 tone. Bridge coil split on bridge vol via push pull pot.
Pickups are:
Neck - Bareknuckle Mississippi Queen - HB sized P90.
Bridge - Bareknuckle Nailbomb Humbucker.
Pups are in black "battleworn" covers...this is the only thing I'm not 100% on, but I may just replace them with plain black.

The neck is beautifully shapedand feels very comfortable. I spent an afternoon in the shop trying basically every guitar in there to find the kind of shape I wanted. Ended up being based on a 70s Gibson LP Custom. Nice and thin and round so that it doesn't feel too alien from the Fenders.
12" fretboard radius with dot inlays.
Headstock has a Koi inlay I asked for (matches a tattoo I have, kinda).

Here are the specs:

Black stain FTW all the way. I really fancy a Jag with that finish or something. Looks like me and a mate have access to his dads wood workshop soon and we want to build a rockin' no frills guitar and i was very much thinking of something just like yours but probably just one pickup to keep it simple for our first crack at it. Looks awesome dude.

I like the look of the pickups although maybe buying black covers and naturally wearing would look cooler and provide personal mojo-scars(TM)

After years of testing I can offer professional mojo-scars(TM) for 100 english pondz per guitar - hit me up in the classifieds!

I quite like the San Dimas Teles. Having said that i would rock this mofo anyday, the neck looks top drawer just by that photo.
