The back is just all black. on the bottom of the guitar there is "NO LOVE" written and mostly still there. There were a few letters on the back of the neck but most were taken off and I couldn't tell what was written there once. I scraped those off because it makes playing it annoying.

The neck is weird...it's only normal profile up to like the 12th fret where it joins the body. After that it's nearly 2 inches thick but has a nice curve that makes playing it easy up there. I'll take some more pictures this weekend when it'll hopefully be all together.

Finished.

Still needs a little bit of a set up but it's more/less intonated and playable. Kinda wish the pickup wasn't SOOO close to the bridge, but that's the kind of guitar it is.

I decided to use the all brass bridge from the old Blazer, because the one that came with it just felt and looked way too cheap, and the Blazer isn't ready yet so might as well use it on this.

Looks cool. Maybe needs zebra bumbuckers? The cream ring and black pickup looks good though. Nice and cheesey.
