Thank you.

The copper inlays are finished. I cut them out of .25 inch copper rod by hand with a junior hacksaw... Very hard work! They are not perfect, but I am happy with them.

The neck and body look fantastic. I'm not a fan of the skin stuff, but its unique and very creative.
Can't wait to see how it looks in the end, nice work.

That and put (I think ostrich skin) on the foot place part (I forget what you call it).

Well that clears it up. He painted it and stuck some skin and the paddle.

Thanks.

The Whammy is just a Whammy IV that has been repainted with ostrich skin replacing the stock rubber foot tread.

Something that I found really amusing is when I first strung this up, it was somehow almost intonated perfectly. Even with a completely different tail/bridge combo than the stock Jagmaster. What luck, I guess.

Didn't you paint another pedal too?

Yeah, there is one Boss pedal as well. I intend to do more when I buy some new pedals, which I have been putting off for the last few months.

When you restring it you take the back skin off to get to the holes correct?
